Catrina Ball set for Saturday, Oct. 12 at the OCCCA in Santa Ana

The 2013 Catrina Ball is set for this Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013, from 8 pm until 12:30 am at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, located at 117 N. Sycamore, in Santa Ana.  Click here to RSVP on Facebook.

Dust off your dancing zapatos, wear your finest Catrina and Catrin attire, and celebrate with us as we fundraise for Santa Ana’s Noche de Altares, the largest Dia de los Muertos event in Orange County. 

This year, LA and OC artists are designing “Walking Altars” that capture the essence of a Day of the Dead altar and will be on display on the runway.

All proceeds help run Noche de Altares.

Closing out our Walking Altar Artist Profile series is amazing Mother-Daughter duo, Guadalupe and Sandy Rodriguez. These LA based artists use all types of medium to express themselves so it will be very interesting to witness their Walking Altar creation at Catrina Ball.

Get your tickets if you haven’t already!  They cost $40.
