South Broadway Cultural Center’s Día de Los Muertos Exhibit Marks 32 Years

Community alter offers a place to remember and reflect on those lost.

October 29, 2026

The City of Albuquerque’s South Broadway Cultural Center invites the community to its annual Día de Los Muertos community art exhibition, a heartfelt tribute to the Mexican cultural tradition of honoring loved ones who have passed. The exhibition will be on view November 1–21, with an opening art reception on Sunday, November 1, from 2–6 p.m.

For more than three decades, the South Broadway Cultural Center has served as a gathering place for remembrance, reflection, and art. Since first hosting Día de Los Muertos in 1994, the center’s celebration has blended community participation with creative expression.

This year’s event will feature 15 ofrendas and a community altar where visitors are invited to contribute photographs of their loved ones.

“The exhibition features the work of 30 local artists,” said Museum Curator Augustine Romero. “Each offers their own interpretation of Día de Los Muertos through painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media.”

The reception and exhibition are free and open to the public.
