Welcome to the 27th Annual Lawndale Art Center Día de los Muertos celebrations. I hope that you all will join me in commemorating this rich and lively Mexican holiday that pays tribute to the souls of departed family and friends. Taking a moment to remember our loved ones and honoring their lives, reminds us that no challenge is too difficult when we are surrounded by family, friends and community.

Since the first exhibition of retablos, Día de los Muertos at Lawndale has grown into a multi-day festival that includes the exhibition, Gala/Silent Auction, Family Day Fiesta, Musical Ofrenda and educational workshops. These events reach out to diverse populations in Houston and commemorate the traditions of this vibrant Mexican holiday that celebrates family, life and community. We thank the many organizations who collaborate with us to make these programs possible.

We send our deepest appreciation to all of the artists who picked up an 8” x 10” piece of sheet metal and transformed them into almost 250 amazing, distinct and often amusing works of contemporary art. Their donation of these works in support of Lawndale is deeply appreciated.

Our thanks also goes to the students and teachers from 25 area schools (a record number!) who devoted the time to learn about Día de los Muertos and Mexican folklife traditions. We are grateful to the teachers who inspire so much creativity in these bright young artists.

I have run out of ways to say thanks to the “small, but mighty” Lawndale staff, our Board of Directors, volunteers and finally, the sponsors of this event. Without their heartfelt commitment to our organization, Lawndale simply would not exist. We thank our fabulous chairs and Main Street neighbors Lane and Bob Schultz and their awesome Host Committee, who helped introduce Lawndale to many new friends. I consider myself one of the luckiest people in Houston to work with all of these wonderful people in such a generous community. Thank you for making 27 years of Día de los Muertos celebrations at Lawndale such a success and so much fun.
