WEHO Muralist Roster

CLICK HERE to view the current WEHO Muralist Roster and Mural Program Review and Evaluation Criteria

Any business or commercial development interested in placing a mural on a wall, building, construction site or other location in West Hollywood, must use an artist approved by the City. Approved artists will be placed on the WEHO Muralist Roster as a resource for anyone seeking an artist for a mural project. The intent of the roster is to provide users with a range of artistic styles from which to select an artist that fits the need of a particular project.

Artists who wish to be considered for the WEHO Muralist Roster must submit their credentials for review by the Art on the Outside Subcommittee of the Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission. Artists included on the Roster demonstrate the skills, experience and interest to design and paint large scale paintings, murals and/or art on construction fencing. (While artists who are approved by the Subcommittee will be placed on the WEHO Muralist Roster, the proposed mural work must still be reviewed by the Subcommittee under a separate process.)

Early and mid-career artists are encouraged to apply. The Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission reserves the right to approve an artist for a single project and not for inclusion on the Roster. Artists will remain on the Roster for two (2) years. Artists can reapply to the Roster at any time. The Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission will audit the Roster every two (2) years and reserves the right to remove an artist from the Roster at any time for any reason.

Artist applications are accepted online on an ongoing basis and will be reviewed by the Art on the Outside Subcommittee bi-annually - March and September. Applications are subject to the Review and Evaluation Criteria for the Art on the Outside program. All applications are considered using the following criteria:

Proven artistic merit and strong professional qualifications
Ability to execute a high-quality artwork as demonstrated in the artist's portfolio of work

Applications received between March and August will be reviewed in September. Applications received between September and February will be reviewed in March. Incomplete applications will not be considered for review.
