2022 Theme: El Regreso de las Almas 

To celebrate the return of the festival after a 2-year break, the theme of the 2022 Youth Art Exhibition a is

“El Regreso de las Almas / The Return of the Souls.”  On Dia de los Muertos, the deceased are depicted in skeletal form full of vitality as they were in life – talking, laughing, celebrating, and enjoying life. Works of art should address the return of the souls on the Days of the Dead – coming home, reuniting with loved ones, reveling in festive activities, and rejoicing in happiness.

The exhibition will be displayed at the

Antonio E. Garcia Arts and Education Center, 2021 Agnes St., CCTX.
