Self Help Graphics Will Host Building Transformation Blessing April 15

50 years of arte, cultura, comunidad and advocacy have led us to this special day– Self Help Graphics Transformation Blessing! Join us on Saturday, April 15 from 2:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m. at SHG, for a special community blessing and celebration as we prepare for the physical transformation of our current building.

Our Building Transformation Blessing will include danzantes, free flowing activities for the whole family, and live DJ! Everyone is invited to participate in the collective mural, a pop-up silkscreen print station, contribute to the community altar, and share poetry. We’ll also dedicate a space in our print studio to share palabra and record a video message for Self Help Graphics.

Come hungry! Enjoy the flavors of select local food vendors who will be providing delicious street food and bolís (the first 200 people are free)! Don’t miss the Propagation Station, where you can take with a piece of the garden to take home too (while supplies last). 

SHG is located at 1300 E. 1st St. Los Angeles, CA. 90033, on the corner of 1st and Anderson. All ages are welcome. Admission and parking are free (limited on-site parking, please carpool). Tip: We’re located across the street from Mendez High School and the Metro L Line at Pico/Aliso station in Boyle Heights.
