Many of Alameda County's capital improvement projects include a Percent-for-Art Program in which professional artists are commissioned to make artwork for each site. Due to the upcoming schedule of construction projects, many of the artists commissioned for these public art projects will be selected from two registries of pre-qualified artists (Artist Registries). Artists who qualify for the Registries will be considered for public art projects related to the Highland Hospital Acute Care Tower Replacement Project; Castro Valley Boulevard Streetscape Project; and the San Lorenzo Library Renovation Project. Additional projects may be added to this list and may be related to youth services, health care, social services, public protection, and general government programs.
