The Museum of History and Art, Ontario in collaboration with both branches of the Ontario City Library and the Recreation and Community Services Department are proud to offer our third Annual Día de Los Muertos mask-making event. This annua...l event asks community residents to decorate and design a Día de Los Muertos mask for entry into an Ontario wide contest. To participate in this contest, visit your nearest Library or Community Center by Friday, September 12 and sign up to make your own mask! This is open for all ages.

Winners of the Día de Los Muertos mask-making contest are awarded by age group and receive a certificate and ribbon at the annual El Día de Los Muertos exhibit held at The Museum of History and Art, Ontario from October 2 to November 16. This year’s Artist’s reception date is Saturday, October 4 from 1 PM – 3 PM. A slide show at the exhibit will display the efforts and ingenuity put forth by all the participants and documents the process of the agency collaboration. Juried masks will be hung among the other original artwork within the museum’s established “El Dia de Los Muertos” exhibit with didactics of artist name, location of participation and age division. It is exciting to see the creative minds and hands in the community of Ontario. For more information, please call (909) 395-2020.
