S.P.A.R.C. Social And Public Art Resource Center. The Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) was founded in 1976 by Chicana muralist and educator Judy Baca, filmmaker/director Donna Deitch and Artist/Teacher Christina Schlesinger. 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. Since 1976 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.
