The Desert Botanical Garden will be celebrating Dia de las Muertas this week with a special dinner on Friday evening and events on Saturday and Sunday Nov. 1 and 2. One of the traditions is to create Ofrendas - offerings to remember those who have died. These have been open since Oct. 24 in Webster House.
Outside, there was one Ofrenda that was still being constructed.
A second exhibit at the DBG is Fish out of Water. Dr. Joe McAuliffe, DBG Driector of Research, Conservation and Collections, does gyotaku - this is the Japanese art form where you brush ink on the skin of a fish and then use that to create prints. Here are some of his works on display.
