Near the back of the main entrance, there is a free rotating gallery currently showcasing the Travelers exhibition. As of 7/25/26, the main exhibition features mixed-media works by local artists. I really enjoyed the curation! It felt intentional and flowed well, with multiple pieces from the same artists displayed throughout the exhibit. I appreciated that the artists' labels included their Instagram handles which makes it a lot easy to discover and support their work beyond the museum! In addition to the main exhibition, there are a few smaller galleries. One is currently dedicated to Leo Fender inside the main gallery.

I wasn't sure if this was still happening!…read more I had to find out if it was. This art walk at downtown Fullerton is indeed still an active event. The downtown Fullerton art walk happens on the first Friday of every month. This happens all year round. It seems like the event was more popular maybe pre-covid? Not too sure. You can walk around downtown, and you will see signs put out for the businesses that are participating. It seems like the hours vary depending on the business. So, some were closed when we went. It may be a good idea to go during the day, so you can hit all of the places before they close. We got to see some art. It was cool. It's always fun exploring downtown Fullerton! Not bad for a free event. It's not something you have to run to go do. It was alright for what it is. A free event to do on a Friday, once a month lol

This review is more for the Third Year Anniversary Event. My first Artwalk was during their third…read moreyear anniversary which was held in the plaza of the Fullerton Museum Center. It was cool how everything was gathered in one place and there was a lot of festivities: photobooth, live music, food trucks, beer and wine garden, arts and crafts booth for kids, etc. The museum gift shop was also open to browse. Great atmosphere and nice to walk around, though I didn't really get involved too much with the booths. I was there mostly to browse and soak in the atmosphere. And to get grub from the food trucks, haha. The gathering was a lot smaller than I thought and I was expecting to see a lot more, but it's ok. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Parking was a breeze since they were set up right next to a couple of free public parking garages. All in all, the event provided some great atmosphere, but I'm not sure if a normal Artwalk would be for me. I suppose if I had nothing better to do on a Friday night and wanted to soak in some local art, I'd go again.

I am on a quest to visit all the museums in Orange County for the month of July. Today I visited…read moreMuzeo Museum in lovely downtown Anaheim. Muzeo is housed in two buildings. Right now building one, there is an incredible art exhibit on the history of skateboarding in Anaheim. It's awesome. I took so many photos lol. I used to skateboard when I was a kid. Loved every second of this exhibit. The second building houses so very cool artifacts from the 1800s to the 1900s reflecting the history of Anaheim. It was cool to go back in time to see the history of a place I called home. I saw the history of Anaheim vineyards and Valencia oranges, I saw a lot of information on the ranchos in Anaheim. The Anaheim street names are all named after very important ranchers and farmers in Anaheim. For example I saw the name of a rancher Don Bernardo Yorba who created the greatest rancho of California's Golden Age. No wonder we have cities like Yorba Linda and streets with name Bernardo. Fascinating stuff. Also, there was a video recalling the bicentennial which was July 4, 1976. It was a big deal. There were other artifacts like photographs and a typewriter, luggage and military uniforms. So much history packed in that museum. If you love to visit museums, Muzeo is one that you must visit. They provide validated parking in lots 3 and 5. If you are an Anaheim resident, the cost is only $8. Regular admission is $10. There are discounts for seniors, students and children.

Tiny. Muzeo is tiny. So, if you're worried about the 2 hr validated parking or the 90 minute street…read moreparking, you'll be fine. You'll probably be done within 30 minutes. If you want something more worthy of your admission fee and time, maybe skip Muzeo.

They also have Asian snacks and drinks, souvenir trinkets and magnets, building block toys, little fortune telling thing like they have in Taiwan for $5, artsy stuff..

For a Friday evening, the crowd inside is very light...so I hope this establishment survives. Inside the store, the "stall" set up area feels incomplete or semi-vacant. Most of the vendors are selling knick-knacks rather than food, which wasn't what I expected from a night market-inspired space -- more food stall or hot bar please. The area is sub-divided into sections that seem to try to create a little of everything -- there are spaces for gatherings, worship, paintings and a small gift shop. Food options are limited to just a couple of snack bars, which don't really compare to as much options like 99 Ranch. There is also offering to learn mahjong! One bright spot, though, is the wishing tree, which is a very welcoming and thoughtful touch. Too bad, the paper was out.

What stood out the most was the exceptional customer service from the owners, Mike and Mercedes. Their origin story really resonated with me--Mike started this business out of a true passion for art and community, and that dedication completely shines through in how they treat their guests. From the moment we first reached out to inquire all the way through the planning process, Mike was incredibly accommodating and responsive. The venue itself is awesome. It's a really cool, beautifully decorated space that instantly makes you feel creative. They offer a wide selection of projects to choose from, and the team gives you fantastic attention and guidance throughout the entire event. We had a wonderful experience and I am already planning to come back to host future events here. If you are looking for a great venue and unique experience with amazing owners, this is it!

Wow this place is small! Came by here last Saturday with my husband for the Moon Crisis Sailor Moon…read moretribute (for free). I remember watching Sailor Moon when I was in jr. high and elementary school (yep, I'm pretty old) and so when I found out about this art tribute, I just had to go and of course I dragged my husband with me (gotta love him for coming). None of the previous reviews for this little art place mentioned that it was small, so I was surprised it was on the small side. But nonetheless, it was still a pretty cool place to check out whatever featured art is on display. I love all of the different interpretations and renditions of what ever the artists made of the loved Japanese anime, but of course I still prefer the classic look of Sailor Moon and wished I would see more of the artist work of that. Since we were not the only ones who wanted to come to this opening night's art tribute, we waited in line for quite a while. The line was around the building and then some, but still worth the wait to get in. There were also vendor tables outside of the art house selling copies of their art work and other cute Sailor Moon related items. Overall, really enjoyed myself and would come back here for another featured art exhibit that would peak my interest (which is great this place does not charge admission to check out their exhibits). By the way, this place is located in the Downtown Anaheim, Center Street Promenade. Specifically, this place is located right next to PokiNometry. There is some street parking on Harbor Blvd and also a structure that is a few blocks down.

I recently came for their Popcade exhibit during the Anaheim Art Crawl and was blown away by it's awesomeness. Because it was an homage to classic gaming, there were a lot of great Super Mario pieces of different mediums with my favorite being a piece in a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas fashion. Other fave games included Street Fighter 2, Donkey Kong and a variety of other nostalgic favorites - each with a clever twist to them. The place gets packed as it's one of the more popular spots during the event. Just be patient, once you get in, it's definitely worth it. You might not spend too much time inside, but you'll definitely appreciate all of the cool things you see. The galleries are free and there is parking on the street near the lofts on Harbor. If that's full, there are plenty of free spaces in the adjacent Center Street structure.

This year, $5 from every ticket sale went to the Anaheim White House Restoration Fund. The Anaheim White House, who's proprietor regularly contributes food to the needy, sadly went up in flames last year. However, with fundraisers such as this, hopefully the Anaheim White House will rise like the proverbial phoenix, from the ashes. I'm glad I got to the TOA early, because it quickly became claustrophobic/agoraphobic crowded, especially on the second level. The main chokepoint seemed to be the top of the escalator, where exhibitor tents formed a U, causing a big clusterfrick for most of the night. Food was aplenty & in no short supply. Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles were giving out chicken breast & 1/4 waffle plates at the beginning. That's a full meal for people right there.

It was a much larger event than I had imagined having never attended one of the past events. We walked in and were greeted buy a group of folks and were given an odd triangular plate with a hole on one end and a wine glass that was immediatly filled with champagne to toast the start of our evening's foods and fun. Within a few more paces we approached the first of many food vendors but my nose was quickly detoured to another by the smell of BBQ smoke. Big B's BBQ and Carl Strauss Brewing had were my first choice of many great food, and beverage picks. We wandered from food booth to wine stand to another food booth back to the wine stand repeatidly throught the course of the night. And what a night, an awesome full moon lit up the night and bands played music for our dining pleasure. We tasted, Italian, Asian, American, Latin and English fares from dozens of local eateries an and drinking establishments. This was truely a fantastic spread as you could get a slice of lasagne and a quail egg to go with your pinot or a ceveche taco, and some tasty sangria. Want BBQ and a beer? Or maybe take a break with a cigar before having som lobster bisque? More wine you say? Shure why not, the vino was flowing steady all night with a great many red and white varieties.
