ABOUT THE LOCATION:
Forest Lawn Cypress Memorial Park features graceful views and towering trees. The Heritage Mausoleum in the Northeast corner of the property is built in an Early Federal Style of architecture, featuring a striking red brick exterior. There are statues throughout the park, including a bronze reproduction of Michelangelo’s “David” in the Garden of Protection, which make for excellent value studies in a beautiful, peaceful setting.
MORE INFORMATION:
Día de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a celebration that honors deceased loved ones. This specific community event hosted by Forest Lawn from Noon to 3 PM will have colorful altars, larger-than-life catrina and alebrije art works, folklorico dance and Mariachi performances, arts & crafts, face painting, and refreshments will bring the vibrant traditions of the holiday to life.
BRING:
Provided seating is reserved only for guests visiting their loved ones, so please bring your own stool or folding chair. Please be prepared to walk; select shoes, supplies and gear that will allow you to walk and sketch comfortably, perhaps even while standing.
We welcome artists of all skill levels, whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting to explore your creativity! If you’re new to sketching, your equipment can be as simple as a pencil and a sketchbook.
We can't wait to see you there. Happy Sketching!
