Pasadena, CA
Pasadena's mural scene is shaped by its position as both an arts institution city and a Latino cultural hub — Old Pasadena's historic commercial district hosts carefully curated public commissions while the Playhouse District and surrounding neighborhoods contain vibrant community murals celebrating Mexican American heritage and the city's Rose Parade legacy. The nearby CalArts pipeline has long fed fresh talent into Pasadena's public art programs.
