SHINE YOUR LIGHT ON
SELF HELP GRAPHICS & ART!

Thank you for believing in Self Help Graphics & Art. It's because of your support and involvement that we continue to advance Latino culture through the arts. We are asking for your continued support.

We believe art es para todos and it is because of you that Self Help has had an incredible year of programming including our youth, adult and family art workshops, and cultural events, such as our 37th annual Day of the Dead, all of which are provided to the community at little or no cost.

In a recent audience survey, guests conveyed that Self Help Graphics has left an important imprint on East Los Angeles' community, and many families expressed that they continue to return to have their children experience Latino art and take pride in a local art center like SHG. Self Help is serving more youth and artists with less through innovative and high quality programs.

We cannot continue to rely on traditional funding in this economic climate-we need you. Help SHG continue to impact the lives of our community and emerging artists by making a donation now.

We know times are hard for everyone. We would be so grateful if you would make this extraordinary commitment to SHG and Latino culture in East L.A. We welcome your support at any level.
