El Dia de los Muertos is a centuries-old spiritual tradition celebrating the continuity of life by honoring the dead on their return to Earth one day each year. Sheldon will mark this day with a two-day event featuring music, entertainment and activities for the whole family. A mariachi band and Mexican dancers will provide entertainment both Friday and Saturday and a variety of art-making activities will be offered to young visitors on Saturday afternoon. The event is free and open to the public and is held in conjunction with the exhibition TRANSactions: Contemporary Latin American and Latino Art.
