The 20th National is a big event! Since 1973, LAPS has organized national biennial exhibitions that showcase the current state of the art of printmaking to educate and interest a new audience for the printed image. Prints represent a media that is always changing and the National is an overview of the latest work from both the celebrated professional presses of Los Angeles and artists working across the continent. It is one of the largest, longest running print biennials in the nation. This National will have no size restriction for submitted work and challenging, experimental work is encouraged. LAPS will mark 35 years in Los Angeles with a celebration of our past, looking forward to our future.
February 1st, 2009 Deadline for submission of CDs, entry fee and jury notification card: PROSPECTUS for the 20th National Exhibition.

SHG teams up with Farmlab
Just Announced!! Collaboration between Self-Help Graphics, Casa Del Tunel, and Chora....
Political prints project -- East Los Angeles, downtown L.A., and Tijuana, Mexico...
Chora Prints 2008
New Political Posters From TJ2LA
Nuevos Posters Politicos de TJ a LA
Receptions:
Saturday, October 18, 2008, 6-9pm @ Casa Del Túnel (CDT)
Saturday, October 24, 2008 7-10pm @ Under Spring
On the occasion of the run-up to the November 4, 2008 U.S. Presidential election, Chora, Self-Help Graphics (SHG), and Casa Del Tunel:Art Center (CDT) are teaming up with two-dozen artists to produce posters about what the consider to be the key North American political issues of the day. Each of the three studios will select eight artists to create the works.
Printing will take place at the venerable Self-Help Graphics in East Los Angeles, at Casa Del Tunel, a new arts and culture center in Tijuana, Mexico. The concept for the project, as well as the support, comes from Chora, an initiative of the Annenberg Foundation.
Posters for this non-partisan project will be exhibited in the weeks prior to the election at least at two locations: Underspring and Casa Del Tunel:Art Center.
Underspring is a mutable urban landscape by Lauren Bon, located beneath Los Angeles’ North Spring Street Bridge. Regularly transformed, of late the spot has served as workshop, public square, ceremonial ground, rehearsal space and stage, dining room, gallery, office, dog park, musical instrument, rave site and the setting for a hoe down. With each new iteration, not only the function of the space has changed, but, as much as the bridge’s arches will allow, also its form.
Casa Del Tunel: Art Center is located in the Colonia Federal neighborhood, just meters from the Mexico-U.S. border, in a building that once served as the starting point for a cross-frontier smuggling route.
Self-Help Graphics is a nationally recognized center for Latino arts that develops and nurtures artists in printmaking. SHG seeks to advance Latino art broadly through programming, exhibitions and outreach to diverse audiences in East Los Angeles and beyond. SHG seeks to identify and engage young and emerging artists from the community in all aspects of its activities.
Chora aims to support the intangibles that precede creativity.

In celebration of the thirty-five year tradition of the Day of the Dead at Self-Help Graphics, artists will showcase original work that addresses the theme of "A Call To Witness."

OPEN CALL for Ode to Galleria Otra Vez (in conjunction with the Dia de los Muertos Exhibit) - Retrospective installation that gives homage to the gallery, the artists, & the culture of SHG
Curators: Rosanna Esparza Ahrens & Denise Esparza-Carrillo
With all the attention we have received in the last two months regarding the future of Self Help graphics, we have decided to showcase a retrospective installation that gives homage to the gallery, the artists, & the culture of SHG. Through this installation, we look to continue the conversation of the importance and impact SHG has had on the global art community. For those that have been on this journey for the last 35 years, it will summon up the essence of the vibrant history & heritage of this Chicano art community. It will also serve as a ground swell of inspiration for newcomers to SHG.
Our goal is to fertilize the long established roots we have set into place. As of late, SHG is bubbling with ardent creativity and activism by all who want to participate in continuing the beautiful legacy we have inherited in this time & and in this place. We are asking for your help in acquiring invitation/announcement fliers from past shows held at Galleria Otra Vez. The installation piece will be installed in the gallery stairwell.
