This mural was partially funded by a 2012 Neighborhood Arts Program Grant from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.  There has been considerable funding and in-kind donations from individuals and organizations, many of them from the Pilsen and Little Village communities.  All will be acknowledged at this event.  Mexican hot chocolate and hot tamales will be served.  PLEASE R.S.V.P. TO GAINESART@yahoo.com or to irodriquez@sjom.org.

This event is also an opportunity to donate funding to San Jose Obrero Mission, an organization that is committed to finding housing and employment to all participants who reside at the Mission.  There will be Christmas items for sale produced by the participants with the help of Anne and volunteers. As stated in the main lettering in the mural, “PROGRESS HAPPENS HERE/AQUI EL PROGRESO OCURRE” – AT THE MISSION!
