Chicago’s cultural heart beats strong at the National Museum of Mexican Art, and the upcoming Family Day: Papel Picado Workshop is a testament to that vibrant spirit! For many in our city, papel picado isn’t just a craft—it’s a symbol of family, tradition, and the colorful tapestry of Mexican heritage that shapes our neighborhoods. Hosting this hands-on workshop opens a door for families of all backgrounds to learn, connect, and appreciate the traditions that make Chicago so dynamic. Set in the inspiring environment of the National Museum of Mexican Art, this event brings neighbors together to celebrate shared histories and create lasting memories. It’s more than a workshop—it's a way for the Chicago community to honor its roots, support local cultural spaces, and keep our artistic legacy alive for the next generation.
