A huge and heartfelt thank you to the students of the Fine Art program at the Ottawa School of Art for their incredible work in designing and painting the two stunning giant skulls for The Way of the Mictlan: The Aztec Underworld exhibit at George Street Plaza in the ByWard Market during our festival! Your creativity, talent, and dedication brought the project to life, and it was truly inspiring to see how beautifully you captured the spirit of the Day of the Dead. Your contribution made the exhibit unforgettable, and we are so grateful for your participation in this vibrant celebration of art and culture.
