Herron Art Student Helps AYS Students Prepare Exhibit Pieces
Leslie Hankins

Preparing altar boxes for El Dia de los MuertosWith help from Mary Reese, a student at Herron Art School, children at AYS’ St. Luke’s Catholic School program learned about Mexican art and culture while preparing altar boxes for El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) exhibit at the Indianapolis Art Center. This year, AYS’ submission is themed “Ilumina la Familia.” AYS students from St. Luke, St. Thomas, Fox Hill, and IPS #91 will create altars in tribute of a family member who has passed away.

The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday to honor and celebrate deceased family members. AYS has participated in the Indianapolis Art Center exhibit for several years, as a part of the AYS multicultural arts program. The exhibit will be open from October 13 to November 26, with the official opening on Saturday, October 28 from 3:00-8:00 PM.
