Discover the rich history and iconography of La Catrina, one of the most recognizable figures of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), through eight larger-than-life skeleton sculptures by Los Angeles artist Ricardo Soltero. An elegant female skeleton and an icon of Mexican heritage, La Catrina approaches death not through sadness, but as a colorful celebration of life. See these colorful and joyful works, with accompanying signage in both English and Spanish.
About the Artist: Born in Nayarit, Mexico, Ricardo Soltero is the set designer for the largest Día de los Muertos celebration in the United States, which takes place annually at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. Both a sculptor and a costume designer, Soltero’s projects include works and design for Semblanza Latinoamericana dance and music festival, Metropolitan Fashion Week, UNICEF’s annual gala and the Autry Museum in Los Angeles, CA.

Exhi-BIKE-tion
2025-09-18 17:00 - 20:00 | Joslyn Castle, 3902 Davenport St, Omaha, NE, 68131, United States
Exhi-BIKE-tion is a juried community art show celebrating the spirit of bicycles as transport, transformation, a tool of community, resistance, and release. Hosted in the historic Joslyn Castle Carriage House, this exhibition invites artists to explore how biking shapes the way we move, connect, and imagine our lives. From everyday commutes to childhood memories, critical mass rides to quiet moments in motion—we want the stories only your art can tell.
This event is not only a display of our community’s love for biking and talent for art but also a fundraiser for The Community Bike Project of Omaha. This is Omaha’s only non-profit dedicated to providing low-to-no-cost access to bikes, tools, and cycling education for people of all ages.
Community Bike Project provides a third space for our community to exist and thrive in unapologetically. The space is ever-evolving and calls for close quarters, which asks participants to shed any guard and involve themselves in a transformative experience. This experience provides them with a tool of autonomy and the gift of self-discovery.
Our mission is to create a city in which all residents experience a high quality of life and a thriving sense of personal agency as a result of universal access to bicycle ridership. We aim to achieve this by directly connecting Omahans in need with bicycles to own, the space and tools to maintain their bikes, and the skills and knowledge to independently repair and safely ride their bikes.
Your creative contribution helps make that vision real.
