The San Francisco Symphony, in collaboration with curator Martha Rodríguez-Salazar and artistic partner Casa Círculo Cultural, is proud to present the 2025 Día de los Muertos exhibit. This exhibit coincides with the November 1 concert, a date that holds deep cultural significance as Día de los Angelitos, or Day of the Little Angels. This year’s theme honors the memory of children who have passed, inviting reflection, remembrance, and celebration of their lives.
This celebration goes far beyond one day: Each year, we invite local artists to craft installations and altars honoring both the living and the deceased. Curated by Martha Rodríguez-Salazar, these installations aim to commemorate the Day of the Dead by connecting us across centuries and continents and exploring what Mexican and Latino communities believe is a malleable barrier between life and the afterlife. Beginning in mid-October, their work appears in and around Davies Symphony Hall, available to peruse before or after any Symphony concert.
If you are a visual artist experienced in creating Día de los Muertos altars or installations and are interested in submitting a proposal, we would love to hear from you. Please fill out this ARTIST SUBMISSION FORM.
We look forward to presenting our 18th annual Día de los Muertos celebration!
