Sat @ 3pm: Self Help Graphics' 53rd Annual Día de los Muertos Celebration www.selfhelpgraphics.com/upcoming-eve... #LAevents

Several photos of the #SelfHelpGraphics' workshop for #DíadelosMuertos (circa late 1970s/early 1980s):

A group of Self Help Graphics artists and students enthusiastically hold up their unfinished Día de los Muertos art projects in front of the SHG's Barrio Mobile Art Studio. This b/w photo (late 1970s/early 1980s) by Jerry Fredrick is from our family collection.

In this b/w photo, two students paint a face on a large calavera as part of the Self Help Graphics' workshop for Día de los Muertos. A skeleton is hanging from the fence in the background. Also, there is a book about Mexico next to them on newspaper-covered table. This photo (late 1970s/early 1980s) by Jerry Fredrick is from our family collection.

In this photo, a smiling student is presenting his large painting of a calavera with a pipe as he gives a thumbs up to the photographer. Other students behind him are smiling/giggling as they look at him and the photographer. This b/w photo of the Self Help Graphics’ workshop (circa late 1970s/early 1980s) was taken by Jerry Fredrick and is from our family collection.
