Maize Deity: Figure Drawing Salon

September 21st, 2025

🕰️ 2pm to 4pm
📍Monument @ 140 9th Street

We are excited to collaborate with our friend and artist, Daniel Parada!

Daniel is a Salvadoran artist in San Francisco who creates beautiful Mesoamerican comics and art. He began this work to address the lack of accurate and respectful cultural representation in media. Daniel made the vibrant Mesoamerican stories he wished existed, bringing historical cultures to life. With years of deep research, he tells stories that are easy to enjoy and inspire interest in these cultures.

That's why we teamed up—to create a blend of cultures and art forms that tell powerful visual stories.

This is the start of something we have been working on, so come through :)
