Event Details
Honoring ancestry through art, tradition & education.
Join us for unique art workshops with the event organizers to create decorative flowers for the ofrenda installations at this fall's Dia de Oakwood events.
Artist Instructors: Peter Marin & Marlene Sharak
In partnership with the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources & the North Carolina Museum of Art, Dia de Oakwood is proud to enter its third year as a cultural and educational arts project. Rooted in the traditions of Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead), a Mexican tradition that celebrates family and ancestry, Dia de Oakwood is a project that aims to serve our communities by practicing, conserving, transmitting and sharing this wonderful tradition in the form of an ofrenda installation at Historic Oakwood Cemetery. Save the dates for an enriching and transformative celebration and education about Dia de Muertos.
