Denver International Airport (DEN) is proud to be showcasing Calaveras en Mi Ciudad, a mobile art exhibition that celebrates and pays tribute to Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead), a holiday and day of remembrance in México. Calaveras en Mi Ciudad is on view now through Nov. 3, 2025 and is located on the A-Bridge and Concourse A west, near Gate A19.
The exhibition is a collaboration with Latino artists Anthony García, Sr., Armando Silva, Juls Mendoza, Karma Leigh, Xencs L. Wing, Charlo G. Walterbach, Bimmer Torres, Jennifer Gomez, and Spaik, all who hand-painted the calaveras. The original papier-mâché mold of the calaveras was created by artist Ricardo Soltero. Each calavera, which remind us that our spirits continue after death, is a personal statement that is unique to its creator. Calavera artists express a visual story of who they are, where they come from and how they place themselves within the ancestral tradition of Día de Muertos.
Denver-based artist Armando Silva will paint a calavera live at DEN on the A Concourse on September 29 at 12 p.m.
The mission of DEN Arts is to engage, educate and entertain the public audience. Both the public artworks and rotating exhibitions aim to connect a local and global audience to the environment and culture of the vibrant City of Denver and the unique State of Colorado.
