Since 1976, Sun Gallery has stimulated continuing community interest in the arts and expanded the image of the City of Hayward as a cultural center. Its mission is to provide visual art exhibitions and educational programs that reflect the diverse cultural populations of Hayward and its surrounding area. The gallery acts in partnership with local institutions of education and government, businesses and corporations, and community service organizations to develop visual arts programming, and it guarantees that gallery visits and Family Art Saturdays are always free. Sun Gallery arranges annual pro-environmental exhibits to help teach about the dangers of global warming, including its 12th Annual Exhibit on Climate Change and the Environment, “Our Shared Humanity; Love Thy Neighbor,” and it is hosting the 35th Annual Children’s Book Illustrator Exhibition.
