Call for Artists!
The Downtown Hayward Improvement Association (DHIA) has issued a Call for Artists to the greater Hayward community to assist our Association in decorating new downtown amenities with local art and creative scenes representative of Hayward!
Our partners at the City of Hayward and Big Belly have enlisted the DHIA's help to find local artists or artist teams to submit several unique designs to be selected, printed, and displayed on big belly receptacle stations recently placed in Downtown Hayward. The DHIA is calling for artists to submit their designs for potential display within our downtown community for a full calendar year!
The selected artists and/or artist teams will be compensated for their submitted artwork and links will be embedded on the receptacles that will direct visitors back to the Downtown Hayward website for more details on the artwork, artist profile, and overall public art program. In total there are thirty-five (35) dual-set Big Belly receptacles installed throughout the downtown district.
The DHIA is seeking artist submissions to graphically wrap all thirty-five (35) receptacle sets in selected artwork. There is no limit on the number of submissions an artist can enter for this program. Multiple designs from the same artist(s) may be selected. The design themes should be centered around the history & heritage of Hayward, the artistic and creative environment of the City, and the contemporary culture of its citizenry.
