Participate in Our Community Altar
\nOn D\u00eda de los Muertos, the dead are also a part of the community, being invited to share celebrations with their loved ones. Families create\u00a0ofrendas\u00a0(offerings) to honor their departed family members. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks of the one being honored. The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their foods and join in the celebrations!\u00a0Bring an offering or photo that you\u2019d like to be included in Pelham Art Center\u2019s window display for Day of the Dead! **<\/p>\n
**Our community altar is on display until Tuesday, November 2nd. Any offering items you\u2019d like returned should be labeled with your name, e-mail and phone number, and picked up no later than Saturday, November 6th.\u00a0<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"mexican-day-of-the-dead-2","image":{"url":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1760web-scaled.jpg","id":1603,"extension":"jpg","width":2560,"height":1707,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1760web-300x200.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":683,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1760web-1024x683.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1760web-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":512,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1760web-768x512.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":1024,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1760web-1536x1024.jpg"},"2048x2048":{"width":2048,"height":1365,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1760web-2048x1365.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"width":1568,"height":1045,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1760web-1568x1045.jpg"}},"original_image":"IMG_1760web.jpg"},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2021-10-30 15:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2021","month":"10","day":"30","hour":"15","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2021-10-30 16:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2021","month":"10","day":"30","hour":"16","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2021-10-30 19:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2021","month":"10","day":"30","hour":"19","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2021-10-30 20:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2021","month":"10","day":"30","hour":"20","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/New_York","timezone_abbr":"EDT","cost":"Free","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":["0"]},"website":"https:\/\/www.pelhamartcenter.org\/event\/day-of-the-dead-21\/","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Community Event","slug":"community-event","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":79,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":263,"filter":"raw","id":79,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/79","collection":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[{"name":"Kid-friendly","slug":"kid-friendly","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":80,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":77,"filter":"raw","id":80,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/80","collection":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}}],"venue":{"id":422,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2019-02-26 18:48:04","date_utc":"2019-02-26 18:48:04","modified":"2019-05-08 11:31:17","modified_utc":"2019-05-08 11:31:17","url":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/venue\/pelham-art-center\/","venue":"Pelham Art Center","slug":"pelham-art-center","address":"155 Fifth Avenue","city":"Pelham","country":"United States","state":"NY","zip":"10803","website":"https:\/\/www.pelhamartcenter.org","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Pelham Art Center","description":"","url":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/venue\/pelham-art-center\/","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"155 Fifth Avenue","addressLocality":"Pelham","addressRegion":"NY","postalCode":"10803","addressCountry":"United States"},"telephone":"","sameAs":"https:\/\/www.pelhamartcenter.org"},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"lovepelham.com?id=422","global_id_lineage":["lovepelham.com?id=422"]},"organizer":[{"id":472,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2019-03-17 15:30:08","date_utc":"2019-03-17 15:30:08","modified":"2019-03-17 15:30:08","modified_utc":"2019-03-17 15:30:08","url":"https:\/\/lovepelham.com\/organizer\/pelham-art-center\/","organizer":"Pelham Art Center","slug":"pelham-art-center","website":"https:\/\/www.pelhamartcenter.org\/","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"Pelham Art Center","description":"","url":"https:\/\/www.pelhamartcenter.org\/","telephone":"","email":"","sameAs":"https:\/\/www.pelhamartcenter.org\/"},"global_id":"lovepelham.com?id=472","global_id_lineage":["lovepelham.com?id=472"]}],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Mexican Day of the Dead","description":"<p>Experience\u00a0El D\u00eda de los Muertos--the\u00a0festive Mexican tradition in which passed loved ones are remembered with joy and celebration.
