The DRAW Gallery also has Sacred Memories by artist Casey Rae on display until Sept. 27. The exhibit is a personal remembrance of those passed on and a celebration of life. Rae drew inspiration from El Dia De Los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, a celebration that captures the idea of unity between life and death and sees death as part of the cycle of life.
