 faculty printmaking artist. She teaches Printmaking after school and in 
 school at Leadership High School.\n\nAlyssa is a Xicana artist and arts 
 educator in San Francisco, California. She was born and raised in the 
 city’s Mission District, a place whose spiritual geography has influenced 
 much of her work and career. Alyssa received a BFA in Printmaking from 
 Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Alyssa began a women’s 
 printmaking collective by the name of Suavecita Press. In this collective, 
 women are invited to learn and collaborate as printmakers. This collective 
 currently operates out of the Mission Gráfica printmaking studio of the 
 Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, where Alyssa also gives 
 silkscreening classes and assists as a studio manager. Aside from teaching, 
 Alyssa also works as a freelance artist and operates the line of 
 merchandise that Suavecita Press currently offers.\n\n---\n\nThis event 
 supports Youth Art Exchange's [x]space arts hub. [x]space is an interactive 
 art making and exhibition space accessible to youth and community members 
 of all ages. The “x” in [x]space is related to exchange, 
 experimentation, Excelsior, and x as a variable. Visit us at the heart of 
 the Excelsior at 5137 Mission Street, at Mission & Geneva.\n\nTransformed 
 from a meat market (Chuck’s Market) that was shuttered for nearly a 
 decade, this space is focused on creative exchange between artists and 
 community. It is an active arts center by Youth Art Exchange with free 
 classes and programming for San Francisco public high school students, 
 workshops, a youth printshop, an art gallery, community meeting space, and 
 venue rentals.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2021/06/17/18843293.php
