Day of the Dead Art Workshop for Veterans

Día de los Muertos, also known as Day of the Dead, lasts from October 31st until Nov 2nd. It is celebrated in Mexico and several other Latin American countries. This celebration is filled with rich symbolism and colorful traditions, offering families and communities an opportunity to remember and honor loved ones who have passed away.

Sugar Skulls are iconic symbols of Día de los Muertos which represent the cyclical nature of life and death, reminding us to celebrate the lives of our deceased loved ones. Please join other Veterans and family members at the Chicago Vet Center to create these beautiful cultural symbols at an art workshop with Brushwood’s partners Chicago Vet Center and Veteran Art Tribe.
