DIA DE LOS MUERTOS ART EXHIBITION
CALL FOR ARTISTS (18+)
2025 Theme
"Arbol de la Vida / Tree of Life"
The Tree of Life is a powerful symbol found in cultures around the world—representing creation, connection, ancestry, and the cycles of life. In Mexico, Árboles de la Vida are brightly colored clay sculptures that originated in central Mexico and are traditionally used to tell stories about spirituality, family, nature, and cultural identity. Over time, these trees have evolved to include a wide variety of themes.
The artists who participate in this exhibition may put their own spin on this theme and bring the idea of the Tree of Life to the next level! The exhibition will be displayed at K Space Contemporary October 3 – November 14, 2025.
