Museo Eduardo Carrillo is an Artist Endowed Foundation in the United States, devoted to the work of Mexican-American artist Eduardo Carrillo. Museo aims to share Carrillo's legacy through online exhibitions, collaborations, publications, etc.

It is one of nine organisations involved in the Califas Legacy Project, initiated by Carrillo himself in 1982 [1] . The project showcases the work of Latinx and Chicanx artists in Monterey Bay. Museo also awards the annual Eduardo Carrillo Scholarship, which aims to help artists refine their skills in painting, sculpture, and drawing. Since 1997, the scholarship has been awarded to more than 300 students from UC Santa Cruz [2] .

Eduardo Carrillo: A Life of Engagement, an award-winning [3] biographical documentary film by Chilean director Pedro Pablo Celedón, was released in 2015 to highlight the artist's life. The documentary examines Carrillo's life trajectory from Los Angeles, California, and explores his connection to Baja California, Mexico, his ancestral homeland. In 2018, an exhibition of his artwork, titled Testament of the Spirit, was held at the Crocker Art Museum in California.

Eduardo Carrillo was a Mexican American artist in El Movimiento who worked for the advancement of Chicano/a/x artists, culture, and civil rights. He was known for his paintings and murals which drew upon his extensive study of European and Mexican art and history. While his formative technical skill was rooted in his study and appreciation of western European Renaissance and Mannerists painters, his time spent living in Baja California also educated him in indigenous peoples art-making techniques and philosophies. The scope of his subject matter spanned surrealist-inspired landscapes, the intersection of Mexican history and myth and Chicano cultural identity, figurative and portrait paintings, traditional landscapes, and still lifes. In 1982, at a time in history when Chicano culture had been engaged with cultural reclamation and identification for over a decade, Carrillo organized the groundbreaking conference Califas: Chicano Art and Culture in California, which brought together artists, cultural workers, art historians, and educators to look at the contributions of Chicano art from 1965 to 1981.
