Project
The Alameda County Arts Commission is pleased to announce plans for a Public Art Program associated with the Castro Valley Boulevard Streetscape Project. The Streetscape Project, funded by the County’s Redevelopment Agency, will help to create a safe, comfortable and attractive downtown Castro Valley. As part of the overall project, an artist will be hired to make artwork that will be integrated into the seating and gateway markers along the Boulevard. The public art process will include many ways in which the public will be encouraged to participate. Be part of the process to choose artwork that reflects the special character of Castro Valley!
