Free Dia de los Muertos Art Expo July 10 & 11
Why celebrate Día de los Muertos only once a year when you can celebrate it all year long? That’s the philosophy behind the Arté de Muertos Expo, held four times a year.
If you’re a Day of the Dead aficionado, check out the expo this Saturday and Sunday, July 10 and 11, 2010. Admission and parking are FREE!
The expo features all manner of Day of the Dead folk and fine art, but they have a bunch of other stuff, too, like shadow boxes, jewelry, wood carvings, ceramics, and wind chimes. Artists are from New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Arizona and California, and much of the art is exhibited by the maker, so you can chat directly with the artists as you browse.
The event includes artist demonstrations, music, face painting, tarot readings and paranormal and metaphysical experts on hand to share their knowledge. Ghost story author Antonio R. Garcez will be in attendance to sign books.
The free Arté de Muertos Expo will be held at the new Agave del Sol Event Center on:
- Saturday July 10 from 10 am to 6pm
- Sunday July 11 from 10am to 5pm
Agave del Sol Event Center is located at 7500 Montgomery NE, east of Louisiana.

Free Tinkertown Tour, March 20 – Spaces Limited
Take a free pre-season tour of Tinkertown Museum on the Turquoise Trail on Saturday March 20, but you must RSVP now – spaces are limited!
As part of International Obscura Day on March 20, Tinkertown Museum is opening pre-season for an exclusive free preview tour at 2 pm. This ‘only in New Mexico’ extravaganza of folk art by the late Ross Ward, plus his amazing collections of American ephemera, is one of my favorite places to browse a few hours – you always spot something you hadn’t noticed before. (Let’s face it, it’s even more ram-jam packed than my untidy office, only a lot more fun.) The rambling building is constructed from over 50,000 glass bottles and inside you can see the miniature animated wood-carved figures and ask your destiny of Esmerelda, the antique arcade-style fortune teller, on this tour hosted by owner Carla Ward.
Sign up for the free Tinkertown Museum visit at 2 pm on Saturday March 20, 2010.
Although it’s free, you must RSVP as spaces are very limited.
Tinkertown is on the road to Sandia Crest off Highway 14, the Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway, about 25 miles east of Albuquerque.
Obscura Day, presented by Atlas Obscura, is an international event to celebrate “wondrous, curious, and esoteric places.” What a great idea!
