SVA Continuing Education and Flatiron Nomad Partnership present a celebration of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead), a Mexican tradition of pre-Hispanic origin that celebrates the memory and presence of the deceased.
According to popular belief, from Monday, October 31 through Wednesday, November 2, souls return home to be with their loved ones.
Altars are assembled with offerings, food and rituals to celebrate their visit. This free public event will include live performances and DIY activities.
Friday, November 4: Lucio Fontana | Sculpture at Hauser & Wirth
This exhibition will feature 79 works on loan from important institutions and museums, the Fondazione Lucio Fontana and both private and public collections and will shine a light on a critical dimension of the artist’s revolutionary practice that is rarely explored in depth outside of Europe.
This exhibition brings together an array of three-dimensional works in terracotta, concrete, clay, plaster, metal, glass and wood made over the course of five decades, placed in dialogue with paintings and drawings that act as a counterpoint to the gesturalism and methodology of the sculpture.

Saturday November 12, 2:30-4:00pm: People’s Gardens | A walking tour with MoRUS
This event is sure to fill up fast, so here’s how to register.
Storefront for Art and Architecture, in partnership with the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space. The walk will begin at Storefront’s gallery at 97 Kenmare Street and will culminate at La Plaza Cultural on East 9th Street in the East Village, meandering through six other sites along the way. Each of these gardens hold historical and political significance as places of resistance in the struggles against increasing real estate expansion and austerity. Stops include Elizabeth Street Garden, Liz Christy Garden, Garden of Eden Site, Children's Magical Garden, 6B Garden, Carmen's Garden, La Plaza Cultural.
As a living history of urban activism, the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) chronicles the East Village community’s history of grassroots action. It celebrates the local activists who transformed abandoned spaces and vacant lots into vibrant community spaces and gardens. Many of these innovative, sustainable concepts and designs have since spread out to the rest of the city and beyond.
The DART Sketchbook Challenge Update
You can still join the DART 30 Sketchbook Challenge—just make 30 sketchbook drawings, paintings, collages—whatever your hand tells your mind to do, and finish by December 1. Here’s the info:
DART subscribers and their artist friends are invited to join the DART Sketchbook Challenge. Here are the guidelines [there are no rules here]
• Get a sketchbook [even a stack of paper and a binder clip], and mark-making devices of your choice
• Start anytime in November and count to 30
• Finish anytime before December 1
• Some days work fast and fearlessly—give yourself a time limit—15, 20, 30 minutes—depending on mood and matters
• Some days, take time to quietly work through color or composition ideas
• If you know you'll be super busy—or if you get a late start, it's ok to double up/pay forward
• Be Bold. Be Experimental. Draw like no one is watching. Be fast and messy. Do What You Would Not Do
• Post to Instagram with the tag #DART_Sketchbook_Challenge
• Post often: this is a collective creativity lab, open for fearless expression, not a contest about making "perfect" art [whatever that is].
