Hilton Anaheim, Orange County’s largest hotel and its premier convention and leisure destination, and MUZEO, Southern California’s newest museum, have joined forces to find talented artists to design three murals that will decorate the hotel’s newly renovated outdoor pool area.
The murals will illustrate the theme, OC Forever Summer, in keeping with Southern California’s mild climate and forever summertime attitude. The murals will visually convey the community's welcoming spirit and reflect the Hilton’s efforts to develop a progressive community within the arts district.
The murals will be located at the main pool entrance, at the pool bar and grill wall, and at the towel shack. More than one million dollars was spent in renovating the area, including adding a giant water bucket, a poolside lounge and a grilling station. The hotel completed a $60 million renovation in 2009.
To enter the contest, artists must be 18 years old or older. Teams of artists are also welcome to compete. Three winning individuals or teams will each receive $500 stipends. Additionally, the hotel will reimburse artists for their supplies, and provide scaffolding and accommodations during the installation period.
Prospective artists are asked to submit a color drawing of their proposed design along with a short explanation, plus a current resume, a completed application form and four electronic images of relevant existing work. The deadline to enter the contest is 5 PM, August 4, 2011. On July 7, from 6:30 to 7:30 PM, a reception is planned to show the mural locations to prospective participants and to answer questions.
A panel of judges led by MUZEO and Hilton Anaheim’s executive committee will select the winning designs.
To obtain an application, contact Joyce Franklin, director, Exhibitions and Programming at MUZEO at jfranklin@muzeo.org or 714-765-6462. Applications are also available online via Hilton's website Hiltonanaheimhotel.com under the "Hilton Happenings" link found in the "Experiences" tab, and on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/HiltonAnaheimHotel.
“The mural contest will provide an opportunity for our winning artists to showcase their talents while giving us memorable artwork that will provide an even more inviting environment for our guests,” said Shaun Robinson, general manager, Hilton Anaheim.
The finished murals will be unveiled on Thursday, Sept. 15.
Hilton Anaheim is located at 777 Convention Way in Anaheim, California.
