Castro Valley's natural environment and community will be celebrated in the public art for the Castro Valley Boulevard Streetscape Improvement Project. The artwork is being created by Miriam Klein Stahl, in collaboration with Pippa Murray Mosaics.
The artwork will be inset onto 35 seat blocks and 2 gateway markers along Castro Valley Boulevard. Images representing native plants, local landmarks, and community activities will be presented as marble mosaics within granite slabs. Silhouettes of the hills found around Castro Valley will be made in cut stone. The artwork was selected through an open, competitive process by an artist selection committee consisting of 7 Castro Valley residents plus local artists and County staff.
