It was founded by Carlos Almaraz of Los Four, Guillermo Bejarano, and Richard Duardo.[1] Almaraz and Bejarano were painters, and Duardo had worked as a printmaker at Self Help Graphics; all three had a connect to the neighborhood.[2] Some sources also named Leo Limón as a forth founder.[3] The organization focused on the creation of artwork centered on the theme of Los Angeles street scenes and work by Chicano/Chicana youth.[2] They fused Chicano consciousness, communist teachings, and a silkscreen printing business.[4] In the 1970s, Dolores Guerrero-Cruz, Barbara Carrasco, and Judithe Hernández actively had been part of Centro de Arte Público.[5]
The Centro de Arte Público is one of three local arts organizations that made up the Chicano Arts Collective, including the Mechicano Art Center and Corazon Productions.[4] After the organization moved in 1978/1979, the space was transformed into Aztlán Multiples, a printshop; and The Vex, a Chicano punk club.[2][4] The former building was declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (#1233) on August 24, 2021.[6]
