Held every Saturday in October, the Community Art Workshops offer hands-on activities and instruction in flores de papel (paper flowers), papel picado, and mask making, as well as the life-size, papier mache Calaveras customary to our main Dia de los Muertos Celebration. The calaveras and other works created are always an indispensable part of our d?cor for the big celebration, and our artist instructors need assistance in order to make these workshops enjoyable for everyone involved.
Volunteer positions include set up, artist instructor assistance, and break down.
