Halloween may be over, but in Mexico, the festivities are just getting started. The Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) holiday is celebrated November 1 and 2, during which altars are built and decorated by individuals to remember lost loved ones.
In Vancouver, you can be a part of the action too. The Ferry Building Gallery in West Vancouver is exhibiting Celebration of Day of the Dead.
The artist, Jose Antonio Madrazo, hails from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and is internationally renowned for building nichos, traditional colourful shadowboxes, that house playful skeletons in various scenerios. By depicting the dead engaged in lively activities, such as kissing, dancing and drinking, the artist plays with the ideas of life and death.
Most nichos are developed around a phrase. A caption above a married skeleton couple reads “Game Over” and another says “Until Adultery Do Us Part;” satire and humour are an integral part of this exhibit.
The Ferry Building Gallery is at 1414 Argyle Avenue in West Vancouver. It is open from 11am-5pm from Tuesday to Sunday (closed on Mondays). The Celebration of the Dead exhibit is on now until November 14, 2010.

The Hollywood Theatre has been a Vancouver institution for 75 years now.
Canada’s oldest independently-owned and operated theatre will be celebrating its anniversary in style from October 22 to 24.
Each night there will be a food and wine event starting at 5:30pm with music and entertainment by actor Mackenzie Gray.
After the event, movies will be shown in the theatre’s signature double-billing fashion, starting with The American at 7:30pm and followed by the screening of Casablanca.
And while you’re there, don’t forget to soak in the classic cinema decor and imagine what this place was like during the 1930’s, back when black and white films graced the silver screen and price of admission was 20 cents…

Science World is exhibiting Body Worlds and the Brain from now until January 9, 2011.
This controversial exhibit shows plastination of real human bodies in different artistic poses, blurring the line between science and art. It’s a great educational experience and a chance to head over there with a sketchbook in hand to draw anatomical subjects you wouldn’t normally have the chance to see.
They will be hosting An Evening of Drawing this Thursday, October 21, 2010, where visitors will have the opportunity to draw live nude models, in addition to the anatomical specimens on display.
