6th year of the Mare Island Artyard ~ where has the time gone?
Local Edition envisioned this project and its importance, thank goodness also saw the vision and backed it. Thus a great partnership began to bring public art to Mare Island, one of the most intriguing places to visit in the Bay Area.
Come check out the art, the history of the oldest Naval Shipyard on the West Coast, and where industrial collides with the natural world.
Thank you to the artists and their teams, our team, and the strong support from our many friends in the community.
In addition to the Artyard, we’ve created 3 significant murals and many other visual art pieces, many by Vallejo and Solano County artists.
Cover sculpture is the latest arrival of a jaw dropper and mic dropper by .heru. Click the link in our bio to learn more about Zulu and his sculpture, Farmer the Rigger, as well as sculptures currently on display by and .metal for the 2026/27 Artyard Sculpture Exhibit.

Where The Fountain Dreams

The City of San Rafael and the Downtown San Rafael Arts District (DSRAD) welcome a new ceramic tile and mural installation now on view at the City Plaza Fountain in Downtown San Rafael. Created by San Francisco based artist Paz de la Calzada, the work is a meditation on flow — the way water joins, sustains, and transforms.
More than a depiction of water, the mural is an invitation to “pause with Paz” in the plaza, and it gives you a moment of presence and renewal.
This installation marks the second of five new public artworks coming to Downtown San Rafael during the Spring/Summer of 2026. Four of the artworks will become part of the City’s permanent civic art collection, and one temporary sculpture will arrive at City Hall in August for a one-year exhibition.

The 2025-2026 Downtown San Rafael Public Art program is supported by a generous grant from the California Arts Council

🔁• The mural is finally coming to life here in Downtown San Rafael. Every day I’m learning more about this plaza — its stories, its rhythms, and the fountain that once flowed here. Locals tell me how the sound of water used to anchor this space, how it made the plaza feel alive. 🌊🌟Commissioned by the City of San Rafael, CA and the Downtown San Rafael Arts District (DSRAD) -
