Dia De Los Muertos - Lake Elsinore Oct. 27, 2018
In keeping with its mission of integrating arts
and culture on Main Street, the nonprofit artists’ cooperative STUDIO 395, in a
partnership with the city of Lake Elsinore, will stage its annual Dia de Los
Muertos celebration from 1 pm to 6 pm, Saturday, Oct. 27.
“It’s definitely one of our signature events,” STUDIO 395 co-founder Grace Sandlin said. “We want to attract more foot traffic downtown, involve more downtown residents, and get the artists involved.”
Sandlin now serves as the Lake Elsinore
Downtown Merchants Association’s board president, which illustrates the extent
to which the arts group has become a player on Main Street. The DMA is a coalition of concerns promoting
commerce in the Lake Elsinore Downtown Historical District.
When STUDIO 395 initiated a Dia de Los Muertos fiesta in the group’s early years, it was a relatively modest affair occupying a few street corners. The holiday, on which families pay tribute to deceased relatives, has grown widely in the U.S. in areas populated by Mexican descendants.
The success of STUDIO 395’s early Dia de Los Muertos efforts led the city to get involved as co-sponsor. The event burgeoned in offerings and popularity, said organizer Rebecca Esquibel, owner of La Rebelde Winery and CEO of STUDIO 395.
“I think the value is for it to be a bridge to allow the local community to understand some things about the Hispanic community and their focus on family,” Esquibel said. “That’s the whole purpose: to give an opportunity to the community to come together at a positive and entertaining event.”
A few thousand people are expected to attend the gathering, which will feature up to 50 vendors providing food, beverages, arts and crafts, and recreational activities. Live music and dance will occur throughout. Many features will harmonize with the party’s theme, such as altars, sugar skulls, mariachis and Ballet Folklorico.
The event will be staged at City Park on Main between Limited and Library streets. Sections of Main and the side streets will be shut down to accommodate festivities.
An innovative addition orchestrated by the city will be a Go Human project, in which bicycles paths will be established around City Park on Main and Limited. The goal is to encourage visitors to use their bikes as transport to and from the happening.
The Southern California Association of Governments is funding the project, which will include a bicycle parade, a bike valet parking area, and vendors promoting non-motorized transportation.
Aside from vendor wares and food, the gala admittance and entertainment is free of charge. The group also tries to keep the vendors to those that sell handmade or theme related items only.
“We do this event for the cultural and artistic experience it brings to the local residents,” Esquibel said. “This is not a fundraiser. It’s a community event that we want to keep free to access.”

After much thought and discussion, we have determined that STUDIO 395 will NOT be organizing the Dia De Los Muertos Celebration in 2016. There are a number of reasons why but ultimately it comes down to this: we have just recently committed to a larger, long-term project, the ARTist Detour and ARTcademy here in Lake Elsinore and as we consider our needs in terms of human and financial resources needed to kick-off that project successfully over the next 90 days, we recognize that trying to also put on our DOD event might compromise one or the other. That isn't acceptable to us. The Detour project is a large part of the Mission and Vision of STUDIO 395 as it is a means to addressing the long-term needs our culturally underserved community, and it is cornerstone to revitalization of our historic downtown. For those reasons, it must be our priority.
We love the DOD celebration and it is our intention to pick it up again in 2017 but with the Detour location at the end of Main Street across from the City Park as the center of activity for that event. We definitely will feel the loss because we know the community loves the celebration and was well on the way to becoming a signature event for our city. We are still committed to making that happen but we know we need to spend the remainder of 2016 getting the ARTist Detour ready for workshops, art creation and sales and community events. We are very excited about this project and appreciate the City Council's and the National Endowment for the Arts' commitment to our vision to this creative placemaking location.
Thank you for your continued support of STUDIO 395. While this cancellation is a disappointment, more good things are coming!

Noche de Los Muertos - Studio 395 Call For Artists
This
is a Call for Artist for a juried show August 15th during our 3rd Saturday
Live Art and Music Event. The selected piece will be used for all
advertising for the Noche de Los Muertos event Oct 3rd. This is designed as a fundraiser type event
for the Dia De Los Muertos festival and celebration Nov 1st. This event was created in 2012 by STUDIO 395
and the Lake Elsinore Downtown Merchants.
The City of Lake Elsinore joined in as a sponsor in 2013 and 2014 the
Chamber of Commerce, Modela, La Unica, Cardenas and others donated as sponsors. 2015 we are adding the Noche de Los Muertos
event.
The
Dia De Los Muertos event had an attendance of over 3,000 in 2014. This is
a great opportunity for the selected artist to gain exposure.
At
selection, the artwork will be purchased from the artist, for $300.00 including
all rights. The selected piece will then be reproduced into prints and
packaged for our silent auction fundraiser October 3rd. The original
will be sold during our live auction and a percentage of the proceeds will
be given to the artist.
PROSPECTUS:
The theme of the show is Dia de Los
Muertos.
