Mexican sand painting a colorful feature of Seattle Center Day of the Dead celebration

It took one week, 46 100-pound bags of sand and a lot of careful stepping, but local artist Isaac Hernandez’s sand painting is ready for this weekend’s Mexican Day of the Dead celebration at Seattle Center.

Hernandez, who designed an altar to accompany the “Celebration of Souls: Day of the Dead in Southern Mexico” exhibition in Seattle last year, has for five years designed a different sand painting for Seattle Center’s Day of the Dead celebration.”*
