Alameda County's Public Art Program was established in 1994 by the County’s “2% for Art” Ordinance. The Public Art Program provides for public art elements connected to capital improvement projects undertaken by Alameda County and is managed by the Office of the Alameda County Arts Commission. The unique artworks are created by professional artists and are integrated into the design of the structure or landscaping, or are in proximity to the project, in any number of treatments and media. The County's Art Collection also includes hundreds of two-dimensional wall-mounted artworks that are installed in County buildings for the benefit and enjoyment of the community. Artwork is purchased or commissioned through an open competitive process. The overall goal of the Public Art Program is to help support a positive and welcoming environment.
The Alameda County Arts Commission is dedicated to improving the quality of life in Alameda County by nurturing a thriving environment for the arts and for cultural activities; promoting economic opportunities for Alameda County’s artists and arts organizations through programs such as arts grants, public art, and art in education programs; encouraging public participation in the arts and actively advocating for the arts.
