Come join us as we create art and celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.

Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15. At this event we will learn about the Day of the Dead and the Mexican practice of decorating calveras, or skulls, with colorful paint and glitter as a way to honor the memory of loved ones. Decorate a ceramic skull that's yours to keep. We will also have Mexican treats for all to enjoy.
