Project Description

With the support of the California Arts Council, El Sereno Community Arts will engage community residents, artists, and businesses in growing our Altarwalk that will activate Huntington Drive during the annual El Sereno Dia de los Muertos Festival, while continuing to expand the multi-generational art experience within the Day of the Dead cultural tradition through creating murals with local school children and teaching paper maché/ piñata-making workshops to the parents at the parent centers.

Organization Summary

El Sereno Community Arts currently provides arts programming through our arts and cultural events. Our two big events are our Chalk Festival that we hold at Wilson High School and our Dia de los Muertos Festival where we close off one city block of Huntington Drive in the neighborhood of El Sereno. In addition, we do a Mural Project with the local schools that is featured at our El Sereno Dia de los Muertos Festival, and various Mexican folk art workshops in conjunction with the event.
