PROJECT OVERVIEW

The City of Santa Ana’s Arts & Culture Office, in collaboration with our Sister City, Sahuayo, Mexico, is inviting professional artists or artist teams who live or work in Santa Ana to submit their qualifications for a mural project. The mural will be installed on the exterior wall of Perla Mexican Cuisine, located at the corner of 4th and Birch Streets (400 W 4th Street). The total budget for the project is $20,000 (inclusive of materials, artist fees, and installation). Mural installation is anticipated for Spring 2025. 

The City of Santa Ana is now seeking local artists or artist teams to be part of this significant project. The selected artist(s) or team(s) will collaborate with artists from Sahuayo to design and install a mural in Santa Ana, celebrating the shared cultural heritage and vibrant connection between the two cities. There is also potential for the creation of a complementary “sister” mural in Sahuayo, further deepening the artistic and cultural exchange.

SITE INFORMATION

The wall is located on the south-facing exterior of Garage B/5th & Spurgeon (overlooking Calle Cuatro Plaza) at 300 E. 5th St.  

It is highly recommended that you visit the site on your own.  

BUDGET

The selected artist(s)/team(s) will be awarded $20,000, which must cover all costs related to the design, materials, and implementation of the artwork. The completed artwork will become the property of the City of Santa Ana. The City will pressure wash the walls and attend to any necessary repairs prior to the installation. The City will also ensure the application of an anti-graffiti coating to the mural.
