As Election Day approaches & conversations about the future of Rochester’s art & music culture increase, our friends at Pretty Cool Stuff and Blue Snow would like to provide a fun opportunity to gather, craft, & learn with Mayoral Candidate- Dr.Jess Garcia.

Dr. Jess is always ready to answer questions about the mayoral race & her hopes for Rochester, but for this event she’ll also be sharing part of her culture. Celebrate & learn about Día De Los Muertos while crafting our own nichos—elaborate frames to celebrate loved ones who have passed on. Nichos can be mini altars themselves or added to a larger ofrenda.

Pretty Cool Stuff & Blue Snow MN will set up a crafting area in Treedome with plenty of crafting materials & space to gather. We’ll assist you in making a personalized nicho to honor your loved one. Dr. Jess Garcia will craft alongside us & share her love of Dia de los Muertos & her love of Rochester.

Please bring a photo of the person (or pet!) you’d like to honor. If you aren’t able to bring a physical photo please send it to info@prettycoolstuffmn.com ahead of time & we’ll bring the photo for you
