Mission Gráfica:
Reflecting a Community in Print


november 1, 2025 through February 1, 2026

Opening Reception on First Friday evening, November 7

As a community print center of diversity and cultural ferment, Mission Gráfica in San Francisco has produced challenging, aesthetically outstanding artwork of social and political relevance for over four decades. Created in 1982 as part of the Mission Cultural Center, it has attracted important artists from the Bay Area and international solidarity movements, partnering with both rock stars and guerrilla activists. During the 1990s, Mission Gráfica was reformulated to emphasize community projects and classes, creating a more open workshop that serves artists exploring personal visions as well as those involved in local struggles from gentrification to homelessness. 

The exhibition is comprised of 42 screenprints, and reflects an enormous variety of styles, approaches and sensibilities. The artists range from non-professional and emerging artists to well-known figures such as Jesus Barraza, Harry Fonseca, Juan R. Fuentes, Rupert Garcia, Carmen Lomas Garza, Ester Hernandez, Nancy Hom, Mildred Howard, Jean La Marr, Favianna Rodriguez, Michael Roman, and the San Francisco Print Collective.
