Mini Alebrije Art Workshop and Reception
2025-10-25 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | 211 S Water St E, 53538, 211 South Water Street East, Fort Atkinson, WI, 53538, United States
Join us for a fun and creative hands-on workshop where you’ll learn to make your very own alebrije with papier-mâché artist, Ceci Tejeda. Alebrijes are a colorful, fantastical creature that blends elements of various animals. Originating from Mexican folk art, alebrijes are traditionally crafted from papier-mâché and painted in vibrant patterns and bold colors. Each one is a unique expression of imagination!

In this 2-hour session, participants will choose one of two sample alebrije designs to recreate by following a step-by-step process. You’ll learn how to build the base using aluminum foil and papier-mâché, then bring your creature to life through painting and decoration inspired by traditional Mexican styles.

Ages 12 and up: Participants will build their entire piece from start to finish.
Ages 5 to 11: We’ll provide a pre-made aluminum base so younger artists can focus on shaping, decorating, and painting their alebrije.

Following the workshop, at 1:00 PM, all are invited to a Community Reception celebrating the opening of Crafted Spirits: Día de los Muertos, a solo exhibition by Ceci Tejeda on view at the FAC from October 24 to November 24. The reception will feature light refreshments and offer an opportunity to engage with the artist, explore her vibrant papier-mâché pieces, and reflect on cultural expressions of memory, life, and death.

Burns Night is a Scottish tradition held in honor of national poet Robert Burns, celebrating his words, wit, and enduring love of music, friendship, and storytelling. This special evening blends poetry, reflection, and community—exactly the kind of night meant to be shared.
Failte—Gaelic for “Welcome”—is a spirited quartet rooted in the Irish session tradition, playing Irish and Scottish tunes with vibrant affection. From lively jigs and reels to tender waltzes, their sound weaves together cittern, fiddle, bodhrán, and button accordion into a rich, inviting musical tapestry.
The evening will also feature readings of Robert Burns’ poetry around the fireplace, creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere that echoes the rare old times—when music, words, and community gathered together in warmth and good company.
