Self Help Graphics and Art is proud to present the youth exhibition, Our Future, Our Voice, Our Way, in our main gallery this summer. View the exhibition by appointment, select dates Tuesday - Friday from 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. RSVP here. The exhibition, curated originally as a virtual experience on our blog by the 2020-21 SHG Youth Committee, highlights individual youth voices who care strongly about issues in their communities, and addresses topics such as identity, race, culture, and gender; many through the lens of social justice.

How is this different from the online exhibit? The SHG Gallery exhibition will include serigraph prints from SHG’s renowned Professional Printmaking Program, selected by the Youth Committee, to extend the dialogue about the continuing issues that impact youth and communities of color throughout time.

The SHG Youth Committee believes young people should have more input in the decisions that directly affect them, and that their voices should be celebrated and uplifted. Through this intimate exhibition, we hope that more young artists are inspired to create new work and showcase it to larger audiences; and inspire a new generation of youth to pursue the arts as a form of expression.
