Muzeo Open Call for Housing Murals in Anaheim

Muzeo Museum and Cultural Center, in partnership with Center Housing Partners, is overseeing the development of two new civic art pieces in Anaheim as part of the Jamboree Housing development project. This project will transform a former Tampico Motel into a 32-unit permanent supportive housing community designed to serve at-risk youth ages 18 to 24.

The opportunity includes creating two exterior murals:

1. Building 1: An exterior wall along the south property line measuring approximately 17 feet in height and 28 feet in width.
2. Building 2: An exterior wall along the west property line measuring approximately 22 feet in height and 36 feet in width.

Muzeo Museum and Cultural Center has been contracted to supervise the art project to guarantee community involvement, artistic excellence, and ensure an understanding of Anaheim's history is incorporated into the designs. The Muzeo, which has been operating since 2007, is a cultural complex in Anaheim housing gallery space and the historic 1908 Carnegie Library building.

This is an open call for qualifications at this stage. Final artwork design and concept will be determined through community engagement and feedback. Artists and collectives of all levels are encouraged to apply, making this an excellent opportunity for those seeking their first creative project of 2026.

The Anaheim City Council approved a cooperation agreement with Jamboree for the project in 2024. Interested artists should submit their qualifications by the February 8 deadline.
