Don't forget to join us for our Dia de Muertos JETogether this Saturday!

JETAA Chicago returns to the location of one of the first ever JETogethers - the National Museum of Mexican Art! The Museum has hosted the art of many Japanese-American and Japanese-Mexican artists over the years, including Shizu Saldamando, and on Saturday, November 9, we are visiting their annual Dia de Muertos Exhibit!

We will meet in front of the Museum at 11am sharp! Street parking is available around Harrison Park where the museum is located (watch out for the Neighborhood Parking signs!) and the Museum is easily accessible via public transportation on the Damen bus, 18th St. bus or Pink line train. Find your best route here!

And after we are done, feel free to stick around for a Coffee & Conversation Nijikai at El Cafecito in the Damen Pink Line station!

This event is open to JET alumni and Friends of JET.
