Day of the Dead Exhibit

Claudio Delucca, a recently United States retired naval officer from Brazil, has spent the past 20 years importing Latin American folk art and crafts. The passion that both he and his wife, Maribel Siman-Delucca, who is from El Salvador, have for the stories behind each handmade object and the artisans who create them, is obvious. She also spent much of her life traveling throughout South America and studying its various cultures. Not only are they able to discuss the history and cultural significance of virtually every piece in the gallery, they often select the pieces based on the history of the families who craft the items.
