Celebrate artist Fabian Debora’s depiction of El Pueblo de Los Angeles as we unveil the first in our 2017 “Through the Eyes of Artists” poster series.

His poster references the city’s rich history as it lives on in future generations. In the artist’s words, “This painting serves as an introduction to the importance of its history and as an invitation across generations to take pride in the vibrant heritage that has led us to this place today.”

You are invited to meet the artist and receive a free, signed copy of his poster on Saturday, Oct. 28, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the El Pueblo Historical Monument Biscailuz Gallery.

This event coincides with free admission to the Sacred Memories exhibition at the El Pueblo Historical Monument Biscailuz Gallery. Sacred Memories is sponsored by the El Pueblo Park Association and the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.

The Biscailuz Gallery is located at 125 Paseo de la Plaza, Los Angeles, California 90012.
