I went to an opening at Creative Growth (an Art Center that serves adult artists with developmental, mental and physical disabilities and provides a stimulating environment for artistic instruction, gallery promotion and personal expression). The show that went up titled, "Altered" has a Dia de Los Muertos/ Halloween theme. They had a beautiful alter set up with a variety of ceramic works that also held candles. There was an immense variety of pieces (no photography... I think the studios might not have a facility for it). The pieces that intrigued me most were two beautiful bundles of twisted cloth. They were very meditative and meticulous with sumptuous color. The gallery is located in Oakland if anyone wants to go view the work.
