Through partnerships between artists, business owners, schools, and volunteers, the City's award-winning Mural Program has revitalized community art and reduced graffiti and blight in Downtown Hayward. Take a complementary tour of Hayward's murals to appreciate the art in person and interact with talented local artists.

To view the artwork and their locations, join us on a virtual tour using the interactive map.

City staff removes graffiti from municipal property, pedestrian and vehicular overpasses, BART columns, sidewalks, traffic control boxes, fire hydrants, water testing stations, and the Amtrak Station. The City appreciates reports of graffiti vandalism as soon as it occurs so prompt action can be taken.

The City is taking a proactive, preventive approach to help eliminate graffiti through the public mural art program. Help us combat graffiti by suggesting a location for a mural.

Bay Area and California Artists are encouraged to participate in the open artist-all-call announcements.
