Self Help Graphics & Art (SHG) is the leading non-profit visual arts center serving the predominantly Latino community of Los Angeles.  SHG’s mission is to develop and nurture Latino artists in printmaking.

The funding will go towards “Atelier LVIII,”  a project that focuses on LGBTQ gender identities and will provide space for artists to create in a safe space.  Curator Dalila Paola Mendez will work with local artists/activists to produce a series of prints that they hope will encourage constructive and positive dialogue between artists and the community.  The project is ongoing.
