Thanks for the heads up! We will stop by the "Arte De Muertos", we live about five miles away...

I have dogs, and I noticed the skeleton pet costumes. I don't know where they got them. They may have made them? For the South Valley Día de los Muertos Celebration they have free workshops:

Rich, Did you end up going to this? If so, how was it? I am just not able to make it to the art expo this time but hope to go next time. I am still dying to know how it was.

Lauren,

My wife and I went to the Expo on Saturday. We enjoyed it. We will go back. The vendors were very friendly, informative and professional.

I took some pictures, some below. You really can't see all the vendors, they looked filled. Actually the pictures on the their site are accurate and better depict the Expo: Photos


We were there probably an hour and did some shopping elsewhere before and after and ate lunch. We live about five miles from the casino so for us, going was not a problem.

Antonio R. Garcez, the author of some good ghost books was there, I meant on going back to get one of his books but, forgot.

Artist Scott Garcia was there, first of my picture, Informative etc, what can I say, I enjoyed talking to him. His site: Scott Garcia's Hypercanvas.com

I had a good time, but some say I am easily impressed. I am, I don't expect a lot, just some friendly conversation. I am not into these "arts", but I find it interesting.

Had a great time in the south valley today taking in the Dia de los Muertos celebration. The parade ended at the West Side Community Center, where there were local artists, Aztec dancers and plenty of people watching. The weather has been unusually warm, so it was a beautiful afternoon to take in the parade.

We had planned on going but something came up.

Thanks for sharing the photos's.

FYI, the South Valley technically isn't part of the City of Albuquerque, despite using Albuquerque mailing addresses. It is an unincorporated area of Bernalillo County.
