Three Public Artworks Announced for Heather Farm Park

With construction set to begin in late 2025, the new aquatic and community center at Heather Farm Park presents an exciting opportunity to integrate three distinct and unique public artworks into the project.
In January 2025, the Arts Commission approved three artists/artist groups and their respective project concepts: Stephen Galloway, Hou de Sousa (Nancy Hou and Josh de Sousa) and Alexandra Proba. The work of all three artists will promote the City’s mission, as outlined in the Public Art Master Plan to “integrate art into the City’s everyday environment and build a dynamic, exciting and engaging place to live, visit, and do business.”
Stephen Galloway will create a mixed media mosaic mural, Watercolors: A Dream for Walnut Creek, inspired by the water sources nearby, to be installed on an exterior wall near the front entrance of the new building. |

Hou de Sousa will install Poppy, a ceiling-mounted installation inspired by native wildflowers, designed to bring a vibrant burst of color to the lobby of the building |

Alexandra Proba will plan a three-part natural stone sculpture work, Echoes of Earth and Water, inspired by the geological history of Mount Diablo and local flora, which will be installed outside the new building on the lawn area facing the pond. |
