With support from the California Arts Council, Heritage Museum of Orange County will continue with our afterschool master’s murals course for local high school youth. Over the past two years our program has provided an outlet for youth to create permanently displayed murals at HMOC reflecting historical and cultural themes of our Orange County community. In 2020 the museum’s mural theme is Visions of HERstory recognizing influential women in OC as we celebrate 100 years of women’s suffrage.
