Creative Class Collective, in partnership with the GRAMMY Museum®, has unveiled a new mural honoring the life and legacy of global music icon Selena.
Painted by Long Beach-based Mexican-American artist Mister Toledo, the mural takes a prominent place on the Museum’s exterior in downtown Los Angeles and celebrates the upcoming exhibition Selena: From Texas to the World, opening Jan. 15, 2026.

Being invited to spotlight someone who had such a significant impact on the Latino community is life-changing.
I grew up listening to Selena with my family and if I had to pick just one song, I would say ‘Como La Flor’ is my favorite. Hearing that the Quintanilla family approved of my work and knowing it will be featured in front of the iconic GRAMMY museum is a defining moment for me as an artist.
Inspired by classic movie poster artwork, the mural captures defining moments from Selena’s life and career, including scenes from her music videos, her GRAMMY® Award win, and her trailblazing fashion.
Commissioned collaboratively by the GRAMMY Museum and Creative Class Collective, a Long Beach-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering creators through experience and community—the mural represents both organizations’ commitment to celebrating cultural legacy while uplifting local artists. Creative Class Collective led the curation and artist selection, tapping Mister Toledo for his deeply personal style, Los Angeles community ties, and passion for storytelling through public art.
