Celebrate Día de los Muertos with Fulgencio Lazo and the Seattle Art Museum!

From SAM: This year marks the 27th annual celebration of Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, at SAM and its partnership with local Oaxacan artist Fulgencio Lazo. Each year, Fulgencio and his wife, Erin Fanning, gather members of the community, musicians, and other artists to mark this day celebrating the eternal cycle of life and invite all of Seattle to join in.

Fulgencio Lazo is an internationally recognized artist whose vibrant abstract paintings and sculptures explore cultural identity and the power of community. As part of his ongoing partnership with SAM, Lazo has designed and sculpted a tapete (a floor covering made of sand, flowers, feathers, and other materials and illustrated with playful images of death) in the downtown museum’s Chase Open Studio. It will be available for viewing through November 6 and is free to access. Click here for more details.
