We have some great news to share this morning: Fleisher is the recipient of a $15,000 Grant for Arts Projects from the National Endowment for the Arts to support our annual Día de los Muertos celebration. The celebration is one of 1,100 projects across the country totaling nearly $27 million selected for fiscal year 2021 funding. ⠀ “As the country and the arts sector begin to imagine returning to a post-pandemic world, the National Endowment for the Arts is proud to announce funding that will help arts organizations such as Fleisher re-engage fully with partners and audiences,” said Ann Eilers, NEA’s acting chair. “Although the arts have sustained many during the pandemic, the chance to gather with one another and share arts experiences is its own necessity and pleasure.” ⠀ Every fall for nearly a decade, Fleisher’s Día de los Muertos celebration, planned each year by the La Calaca Flaca committee, has demonstrated the importance of this holiday, celebrated widely across Latin America. It features elaborate altar installations designed by a guest artist in Fleisher’s historic Sanctuary space and other locations throughout the community, a procession with hundreds of participants through South Philadelphia, and a wide range of supporting events. Last year’s celebration was held virtually and streamed live through social media. Learn more about our plans for 2021 as they evolve at fleisher.community.
