ABOUT SPARC
SPARC's Inherent Nature:
SPARC was born in a time of change -- the 1970s. It has, since its inception, been a catalyst for social change through the arts and a home for artistic innovation. Being a catalyst has often meant handling the many currents that flow through historical events at the moment they are occurring and working outside of typical art venues in the places where people live and work. SPARC is a facilitator -- finding ways to tell richly textured stories that help community participants and artists achieve a measure of change and transformation. SPARC endeavors to communicate to the larger public -- the means of communication may take many forms, from built architectural monuments, to murals or to new technological spaces such as the internet.

Creating Sites of Public Memory: The Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) was founded in 1976 by Chicana muralist and educator Judith F. Baca, filmmaker/director Donna Deitch and Artist/Teacher Christina Schlesinger. SPARC is a cultural center that creates public art as a vehicle to promote civic dialogue, foster cross-cultural understanding and address critical social issues.

We accomplish our mission by producing, preserving and teaching methods to create community-based, public art. SPARC's intention is: to examine what we choose to memorialize through public art, to devise and produce excellent artworks responsive to articulated community needs through innovative community participatory processes, that include creative visualization and collaborative teams composed of local residents of all ages.

SPARC is proud of its rich legacy of artwork that provides an ethnic face for our city. SPARC's public projects, which are national and international in scope, now number in Los Angeles alone in the 100's and are considered among the most important landmarks of our city. For 35 years SPARC has been working in Los Angeles' communities, including poor and immigrant communities with youth and their families as participants in the production of public monuments -- artworks that make their stories evident to local, national and international audiences. Through the expansion of the American historical narrative, SPARC seeks to create understanding between diverse ethnic groups and respect for the significant contributions made by diverse populations that make up a nation of immigrants.

SPARC has remained committed to its values as a socially responsible organization utilizing art to bring about social change. We also remain committed to helping communities find their voice, giving them public expression, and having others hear it; while breaking down barriers, real and perceived, between and within communities. What we do is as much about community transformation and creating permanent sites of public memory as it is about public art.
