30th Annual Day of the Dead celebration

Pros Arts Studios celebrated its The 30th Annual Dia de los Muertos Celebration this past Monday, October 2nd 2009. We are grateful for the partner organizations that joined us: Casa Aztlan, Dvorak Park, Hogar del Niño, and Gads Hill. We had an amazing night that included face painting, a children's parade, and a show by the Kidz Circus. We also would like to thank Elizabeth and Jeff A. Maldonado for allowing us the opportunity honor Jeff Jr.

Elvia Rodriguez, our director of community programs, was the moving force behind making this event happen.

Our executive director Giselle Mercier, dressed up using La Catrina as her inspiration and helped with face painting.

We were thrilled to have Silvana Tabares from Extra Bilingual News cover our event. Pick up a copy of this week's issue to see the photos they've published...
