It's time once again for the annual 18th St Pilsen Open Studios walk. Artists throughout Pilsen open up their studios and galleries from noon to 8 pm on Saturday and Sunday, October 17th and 18th. There'll be over 60 artists showing in more than 30 spaces in the area between Carpenter St. and Leavitt St. and between 17th St and Cermak Rd. There will be free buses available to take you to the different spaces. There'll also be a preview show opening the night before on Friday the 16th. at Prospectus Gallery.
The National Museum of Mexican Art also has their annual Day of the Dead show running through December 13, 2009. The Mondragon family, that the museum brings out from Mexico each year to create sugar skulls, are also now offering sugar coffins with little skeletons inside. They're really great. Admission to the museum is free.
