The Avenue 50 Studio presents an exhibition in honor of Dia De Los Muertos, "Secretos y Cartas de los Muertos". This innovative art exhibit has as its premise the intimate letters, some containing secrets, purportedly written by individuals who have passed on from the physical to the spiritual world. With the traditional theme of Dia de los Muertos serving as the foundation, the artists have written and/or illustrated these new letter works revealing secrets. Along side the visual artists, writers Tiffany Ana Lopez and Gloria Alvarez have worked collaboratively with several artists to create insightful letters from the dead.

NELAart SECOND SATURDAY GALLERY NIGHT AT THE SOUTHWEST MUSEUM
234 Museum Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90065 (323) 221-2164
Featuring Connie Rohman, Carpe Diem, Abraham Engles Journal, and Ego Sum Pauper
Opening Reception
Saturday, October 11, 2008, 7-10pm
Fiber artist Connie Rohman, a long time resident of Mt. Washington, has been reinventing the landscape of fiber art for 12 years. She over-dyes a wide variety of fabric ranging from high-end silks to vintage cotton scraps that she collects at thrift stores and combines the brilliantly hued cloth in nontraditional ways that challenge viewers to look at the genre differently. Meet the artist and join us for art, conversation, Mexican chocolate and pan dulce. The museum store will also be open.
