Painting with DiZurita: Day of the Dead Alebrije Art

Celebrate Día de los Muertos by creating a vibrant alebrije painting led by energetic and charismatic international artist Gio DiZurita.

Brightly colored, fantastical creatures that blend elements of different animals, real and imagined, into one striking form, alebrijes are not only celebrated as a vibrant art form but also hold deep cultural significance, representing imagination, transformation and spiritual guidance.

In Mexican folk tradition, some believe alebrijes can serve as spirit guides offering protection and wisdom. While sipping beer and wine, you’ll create an acrylic painting on an 11 x 14 canvas in a hands-on session with DiZurita as she guides guests through a take-home work of art.

📆 Thursday, October 30 | 6:00PM – 8:00PM
