Sunday, October 26, from 2:30-4:30 p.m. All ages are welcome! Join us for a hands-on, family-friendly workshop in preparation for Día de los Muertos. In this session, you will create personalized memorial shadow boxes—miniature shrines built inside upcycled wooden cigar boxes—to honor and remember a loved one or pet who has passed. Using photocopied photos or hand-drawn portraits, along with meaningful decorations, these shadow boxes serve as heartfelt tributes that celebrate memory, legacy, and connection beyond the physical world. You will leave with a completed shrine, ready to be displayed during the Día de los Muertos festivities on November 2. You’re also invited to place your shrine on one of our community altars in either the Dorothea Laub Dance Place building or the Dorothea Laub Music & Arts Center (where we are located). If you choose to include your shrine in one of our public altars, your shrine will be available for pickup after the celebration during the week of November 3. No experience necessary. All materials included. This event is hosted by San Diego Craft Collective. For more free family-fun, please join us the next weekend for more Día de los Muertos fun, with two free events: Mini Music Making & Paper Flower Craft | Ages 0-8yrs and an all-ages Día de los Muertos Celebration. This project was made possible through the Arts District Liberty Station Collaborative Funding Program. • Military, first responders and sibling discounts San Diego Craft Collective on Facebook / Instagram ========================================================================================= FROM KPBS

The Athenaeum's outdoor movie series, Flicks on the Bricks, invites you to enjoy classic movies on our patio during beautiful summer nights. In August, KPBS film critic, arts reporter, and "Cinema Junkie" podcast host Beth Accomando returns to host the 19th annual Flicks on the Bricks series. This year, she has chosen four timeless comedies celebrating witty women. Laughter is always a good thing, and movies have a gift for making us laugh. This summer let’s laugh with some of the brightest, wittiest, most glamorous women of the silver screen. The powerful actresses we see now owe a great debt to some of the women who came before them and blazed a trail. Mae West was 40—the age many actresses found themselves being retired from the screen—when she made her first movie, plus she wrote her own material. Norma Shearer ruled as Queen of MGM for decades, while Carole Lombard and Jean Arthur came to define the effervescent energy of screwball comedies. Join us in celebrating the legacy of these stellar women with a quartet of delightful films. Series tickets for the open-air theater include four memorable films: "She Done Him Wrong" (1933), "My Man Godfrey" (1936), "Private Lives" (1931), and "Easy Living" (1937). Popcorn is included with your ticket. Beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available for purchase. Plus, enjoy weekly trivia and prizes throughout the series.
