Dia de los Dulces Art Opens At Art From Scrap Gallery
On Friday, October 25th from 6:00-8:00 pm, join Art From Scrap for Dia de los Dulces, a gentler, sweeter Day of the Dead art exhibition features the work of three notable Santa Barbara artists: Colleen Darling, Mary Stanley and Syd McCutcheon.
Dia de los Dulces will live up to its name- think psychedelic sugar skulls and art that offers a less conventional interpretation of the Day of the Dead tradition.
Mary Price, curator of the Art From Scrap Gallery says that Dia de los Dulces promises to be a “rollicking good time with fusion refrescos and the lively music of Ocho Emmanuel Villegas. Don’t miss it.”
Warning: a flash mob of zombies might join us at the reception!
The Art From Scrap Gallery is located at 302 East Cota Street on the corner of Garden and Cota Streets in downtown Santa Barbara. See you there!
