Welcome to Pearl

“Bringing history and art to life.”

Connecting Family History, Local History, and Community Art

History and Art

We aim to explore history through a variety of dynamic storytelling techniques and artistic expressions, to honor the past and create something new for the future. We encourage chasing family ghosts and creating art from history.

Through our Murrieta Train Project initiative we plan to bring a historic train car to a site in Murrieta to open as our city’s first cultural arts center in 2025.
