Tribute…

Day of the Dead is such a powerful time of remembrance and appreciation. I have always loved the very concept of it.

The Nelson does a wonderful job of creating opportunities to pay tribute to the art of cultures and religions, as well as creating opportunities for the whole community to contribute to an artistic experience. This was a small part of a much larger installation in the center of the main lobby. Tables around the perimeter provided the opportunity for guests to contribute to the display with brightly colored notes of respect and appreciation for loved ones they have lost.
