The tradition of Halloween originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (sow-in), when people lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off ghosts. The celebration has evolved over the centuries into the second most popular holiday in the United States, Halloween. We’ve invited MCA artists to share their creepy, eerie, spooky and strange art for this unique exhibit.
