The Albany Murals Project aims to enhance the visual landscape of Albany, to preserve and enrich Albany’s cultural environment, and to promote community engagement through the creation of vibrant and exciting public murals.

This Call for Artists is for the inaugural installation: murals on four columns supporting the BART tracks on the Ohlone Greenway. The Ohlone Greenway is a bicycle and pedestrian path that runs directly beneath elevated BART tracks beginning at Ohlone Park in Berkeley and continuing through Albany, El Cerrito, and Richmond. The path is not only a highly used commuting corridor; it is a recreation destination and urban trail that weaves together a number of parks and green spaces. 

Submissions closed on June 20, 2024 at 4pm, but stay tuned there will be additional mural projects in Albany starting in 2025. 

Note: Only digital submissions received as one single PDF will be accepted. No physically mailed submissions will be accepted. Proposals not received by the deadline will not be accepted. Implementation of this project is subject to approval through the BART permit process, and implementation of this project is not guaranteed until the BART permit is issued.
