Rupert Garcia was inducted into the San Francisco State University Alumni Hall of Fame in 1995. He was a leader of the powerful socio-political Chicano Art Movement almost since its inception in the sixties, and he continues to use art to address political and social concerns and inequities. He was also a student at SF State during the '68 student-led Strike, where he designed many of the Strike posters.
RUPERT GARCIA'S WORK IS NOW ON EXHBIT AT THE de YOUNG through JULY 17
Net proceeds from the July 15 tribute reception honoring Rupert Garcia will support the College of Ethnic Studies Community University Empowerment (CUE) Fund, which supports collaborative research and creative projects engaging faculty, students and communities of color served by the College.
