The San Francisco graphic arts workshop, Mission Gráfica, has been a locus of diversity and cultural ferment since 1982, producing stunning prints addressing issues of importance, not only to the San Francisco Bay Area, but nationally and globally. The exhibition, comprised of 42 prints, reflects an enormous variety of styles, approaches and sensibilities. The artists range from non-professional and emerging artists to well-known figures such as Enrique Chagoya, Carmen Lomas Garza, Mildred Howard, Jean La Marr, Nancy Hom, Rupert Garcia and Ester Hernandez.
