The Town of Orangeville's growing collection of outdoor public art, highlights the artistic talent of our community. Tree sculptures, utility boxes and other art pieces are on display for residents and visitors to enjoy.
Tree sculptures
Check out more than 50 tree sculptures that line the streets of the Town of Orangeville. View our Tree Sculptures map and brochure to learn about the artists and the stories behind the individual sculptures.
The popular program started in 2003. Our goal is to transform old trees into unique displays of art, allowing them to continue to add to the character of our community.
