Alongside Mari's work, silkscreen prints by her peers at Self Help Graphics & Art will be included in the exhibition to bring us into her world of friendships and art practice. Mari Cardenas: Colores de Valor will remain on view from December 9, 2022-February 17, 2023. Please note that the gallery will be closed for the holidays from December 24-January 8, 2022. Learn more here.

Our annual Holiday Marketplace returns this Saturday, December 10 from 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. with some of LA’s finest cultural artists and artisans, specializing in unique gifts for the holidays! Our Holiday Marketplace is one of our favorite pop-ups of the year to shop, make art and eat food prepared by local street food vendors; sprinkled with cultura and fun holiday vibes at Self Help Graphics & Art! 

Programming for the day includes a drop-in family workshop and delicious food, drinks, and desserts from our partners of Vendedores en Acción coalition.
