SRAC call to artists: Dia de Los Muertos exhibit proposals due August 5

Dia de Los Muertos is the fantastical Mexican celebration of All Saints and All Souls called Day of the Dead. Form September 9 to November 5, says Pam Atchison, head of Shreveport regional Arts Council, Artspace will be filled with the art of Dia: ofrendas and happy skeletons made by regional artists.

"Artists should make a quick response to us," says Atchison about the Dia proposals. See the apps at Shrevearts.org. More info: 673-6500.

The illustration comes from Nancy Walkup's (formerly Nancy Reynolds) extensive collection. See one of her Dia summaries and lessons at the North Texas Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts.
