Pirate's party begins at 6 p.m. Friday, November 2, with Aztec dancing and a kids' piñata party. At 8 p.m., a procession will leave the gallery for nearby Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, the neighborhood's religious hub; afterward, the adults will get their chance to whack a grownup piñata. While folks are waiting their turn, there'll be plenty more to do, beginning with a walk through the Pirate exhibit of DOD art and altars, this year juried by Maruca Salazar of the Museo de las Americas. Shopping will be an option, too, in the Muertos Market, which will bring together jewelry, assemblages, clothing and other DOD- and Frida-themed wares from ten vendors. Also included in the market will be the Mysterious Art Drop Machine, filled with blind artworks by Pirate members that can be purchased for $5 a pop.In Denver, we love our unibrows, calaveras and mystery art.
