Spotlight: Día de los Muertos celebration, Nov. 2 Rhode Island Latino Arts is holding its annual celebration of the holiday traditionally honored in México, Guatemala, El Salvador, and beyond. It’s not “Mexican Halloween” nor a time to grieve, but a chance to celebrate and remember the lives of those who have passed away. Festivities begin at 4:30 p.m. at the Southside Cultural Center in Providence, where there will be art-making, face painting, and a community altar where you can leave a photo or memento of a loved one. A procession to Grace Cemetery will begin at dusk. Click here for more information.

He went on to get a Master of Fine Arts in Electronic Art at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where he created electronic music, video art and internet-based media art. While at RPI, James went on the air for the first time, hosting an electronic music show on Rensselaer’s station, WRPI, but his love of radio came from staying up late so he could hear punk rock on KKFI, the community radio station in Kansas City, Missouri.
