All ages are welcome! Join us for a hands-on, family-friendly workshop in preparation for Día de los Muertos. In this session, you will create personalized memorial shadow boxes—miniature shrines built inside upcycled wooden cigar boxes—to honor and remember a loved one or pet who has passed. Using photocopied photos or hand-drawn portraits, along with meaningful decorations, these shadow boxes serve as heartfelt tributes that celebrate memory, legacy, and connection beyond the physical world. You will leave with a completed shrine, ready to be displayed during the Día de los Muertos festivities on November 2. You’re also invited to place your shrine on one of our community altars in either the Dorothea Laub Dance Place building or the Dorothea Laub Music & Arts Center (where we are located). If you choose to include your shrine in one of our public altars, your shrine will be available for pickup after the celebration during the week of November 3.
