The Mission Cultural Center’s (MCC) Graphics department was established in 1977, at the same time the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts was founded. Our name is a melding of meanings: Mission in English, is an undertaking and a political commitment to social change, and Gráfica in Castilian, establishes a Latino identity and defends our roots and values.
Voted "Best Studio and Classes" by SF Weekley, Misson Gráfica offers low-cost cleaning and exposing services, classes and studio rentals to the community.
