“Mission Gráfica: Reflecting a Community in Print” opens at the Grace Hudson Museum on Saturday, Nov. 1, and runs through Feb. 1, 2026. The opening reception celebration will coincide with a special First Friday event on Nov. 7, from 5 to 8 p.m. The Museum will be open for free all day on First Friday.
Created in 1982 in the Mission District of San Francisco, Mission Gráfica became the most sought-after political poster center in the Bay Area, attracting well-established regional artists and those involved in international solidarity movements, and partnering with both rock stars and guerrilla activists. Today, they continue to offer workshop space and classes, and serve as a political and artistic meeting point for artists from both California and the wider Latin American art world. This traveling exhibition from Exhibit Envoy is comprised of dozens of screenprints from various artists, reflecting an enormous variety of styles, approaches and sensibilities.
Mission Gráfica was created as part of the Mission Cultural Center through the joint efforts of René Castro, a political refugee from Pinochet’s coup in Chile, and Jos Sances, a Sicilian-American war draft resister with a base in commercial printing. During the 1990s, Mission Gráfica was reformulated under the direction of Juan R. Fuentes, who emphasized community projects and classes. He created a more open workshop that served artists exploring personal visions as well as activists involved in local struggles from gentrification to homelessness.
Providing some local flavor, presentation of “Mission Gráfica” at the Grace Hudson Museum will be supported by artwork from Felicia Rice, a highly accomplished Mendocino Coast book artist. One of her recent pieces, “Heavy Lifting,” was created in partnership with Ukiah poet Theresa Whitehill.
An edible First Friday
In addition to the engaging screenprints, First Friday visitors can enjoy edible art from members of The Great Tortilla Conspiracy, a food-based collective which also originated in San Francisco’s Mission District. Guests are invited to watch the conspirators screenprint satirical images with chocolate on tortillas, toasting the artworks on a comal to make quesadillas. Jazz/flamenco/North African guitarist Yoba Bouabid will be the musical guest.
The Grace Hudson Museum is at 431 S. Main St. in Ukiah. For more information please go to www.gracehudsonmuseum.org or call (707) 467-2836.
