2021 Dia De Los Muertos - Ofrenda Applicant
Description
The Saginaw Art Museum will be hosting a Dia De Los Muertos celebration again this year. Like in years past, we will be showcasing ofrendas arranged by community members in the museum
Because there is limited space to set up the ofrendas we are doing things a little different this year. We invite you to apply for a space and then through a randomized selection process six applicants will be selected. There is a non-refundable $15 application fee. Proceeds will support the Saginaw Art Museum
Please review the guidelines and timeline for the event below as you consider your participation!
