El Día de los Muertos
About This Event
Join us for our annual celebration of el Día de los Muertos—one of the Portrait Gallery’s biggest events of the year—with live music, Mexican folk-dance performances, workshops and a variety of activities for all ages, from 5 to 8 p.m in the museum's Kogod Courtyard. From 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., take the celebration to the streets and see video artwork by artists MasPaz and Guache. The artists will create their work live from the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library rooftop and project it on the outside of the museum building (G and 9th Streets).
The Portrait Gallery strives to provide programs that are accessible to all visitors. If you have questions about the accessibility of this program, or if you would like to request real-time captioning (CART), sign language interpretation, or any other accommodations, please contact npgeducation@si.edu. Two weeks' advance notice is appreciated for requesting accommodations.
