Spiritus is an interdisciplinary ritual/art event, sponsored by the Graphic Design League (GDL) in collaboration with The Graphic Artists Guild .

The Theme
October 31st is Halloween, November 1st and 2nd are days that Christian faiths honor saints and other departed souls, and El Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in Mexican culture is celebrated. These are special days set aside to honor and celebrate the lives of people who have died and yet their memories and spirits continue to influence the living. In many (if not most) cultures around the globe there are similar days of remembrance. Spiritus is inspired by and inclusive of many of these traditions.
