ABC7LA Spark of Love T-shirt designed by Terrick Gutierrez

ABC7 is teaming up with local muralists to create wearable works of art for a good cause! You can help send SoCal kids some holiday joy this season. ABC7 will donate its proceeds from Snow Commerce's sale of this exclusive Terrick Gutierrez designed t-shirt to support our annual Spark of Love toy drive, collecting toys and sports gear for children and teens in need. Terrick Gutierrez (b. 1994) is an L.A.-based interdisciplinary artist, creative technologist, activist, researcher, and curator. He is a child of Belizean and Mexican immigrants, and his work explores urban life in L.A. through the lens of the rapidly changing built environment such as liquor stores and public housing projects. Social issues including food insecurity, cultural erasure and displacement are themes found throughout his work which also explores personal histories addressing topics such as race, identity, and migration. Gutierrez is a graduate of Morehouse College with a master's degree from New York University. He has exhibited across the country, including Atlanta, New York, and Los Angeles, and his work is in private collections on both the East and West Coast. He was recently commissioned by the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture to create his first public art installation 'Why Is There A Liquor Store On Almost Every Corner?'. This year Gutierrez also had his museum debut in World Without End: The George Washington Carver Project at the California African American Museum (CAAM).
