I think it is so great that the Mi Alma Courtyard show is happening this year. Art is such a powerful way for people to express their feelings, especially around a holiday that is related to the loss of a loved one. Center for the Psychology of Women in Echo Park has written some cool stuff about building a Day of the Dead alter, and art therapy in the grieving process. You can check it out here:
