(Nashville, TN) - The Plowhaus Artists' Cooperative proudly returns to East Nashville for the 7th Annual Celebration of Dia de los Muertos* October 23rd thru November 2nd. (schedule below & on the web site www.plowhaus.org)



The Day of the Dead opening reception at Gallery East will be held Thursday evening, October 23rd, from 6 to 10pm to honor this ancient and beautiful tradition. The reception will feature traditional and non-traditional Day of the Dead Art.



*Throughout the month of October, families and villages across Mexico prepare for Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. On these days at the cusp of October and November, those who have died are remembered and their spirits are welcomed back for a yearly visit. Handmade altars, special food and drink, parades and plays, skull-shaped confections and toys, and gravesite visits and vigils celebrate the lives of the deceased.
