La Calavera Catrina Members – Only Preview

September 30, 5:30 – 7pm

All active Members are invited; registration is requested.

Members of the Garden are invited to an exclusive Members – Only Evening preview of La Calavera Catrina, on display in the Scott Florida Garden starting October 1. These larger-than-life skeletons from Los Angeles-based artist Ricardo Soltero serve as one of the most recognizable icons of Día de los Muertos. Born out of Mexican social satire depicting the upper classes, these sculptures will add an element of surprise during your Garden stroll, and blend with the surrounding landscape in unexpected ways.

This exhibition kicks off the Garden’s 2022 – 2023 season, which is themed Mexico: A Celebration of Plants & Culture. Members will have the Garden to themselves after hours. Dine at Fogg Café (including a cash bar), use your Member discount in the Berger Shop in the Garden (extra 10%!), and enjoy a special appearance by exhibition artist Ricardo Soltero. Ticket limits are the same as your membership level: one ticket per Individual level Member, two adult tickets plus children/grandchildren for Family level, and up to four adult tickets plus children/grandchildren for all other levels.

La Calavera Catrina is organized by Denver Botanic Gardens.
