Our annual Holiday Marketplace returns on Saturday, December 10 from 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. with some of LA’s finest cultural artists and artisans, specializing in unique gifts for the holidays! Our Holiday Marketplace is one of our favorite pop-ups of the year to shop, make art and eat food prepared by local street food vendors; sprinkled with cultura and fun holiday vibes at Self Help Graphics & Art! 

Shop for fine art, high-quality handmade goods, crafts, and decor from local artisans, designers and artists. Plus, take advantage of special pricing on select fine prints with proceeds benefiting our organization! When you shop at our Holiday Marketplace, you support independent makers and invest in the community. 

View our new upcoming exhibition, Mari Cardenas: Colores de Valor in the gallery while you're here. Programming for the day includes a drop-in family workshop and delicious food, drinks, and desserts from our partners of Vendedores en Acción coalition.

Save on Prints

Become a collector! Original artwork is a thoughtful gift to give all year, but during this holiday season we’re sweetening the deal with discounts on print purchases of $500.00 or more at our Holiday Marketplace on Saturday, December 10, 2022. There’s a large inventory at many price-points created as part of our Professional Printmaking Program and Open Printmaking Studio. Proceeds from print sales help us to strengthen our mission and offerings, such as this marketplace.
