Art Walk of Tree Sculptures

The Art Walk of Tree Sculptures in Orangeville has quickly become popular with our residents and visitors since the first tree was carved in 2002. The goal of the programme is to use trees that have reached the end of their life expectancy in a way that allows them to continue adding character to the community. Carvers from throughout Ontario have participated in the programme and there are now over 45 sculptures. New carvers come forward each year hoping to participate and many visitors return to revisit old favourites and to see the new ones. Orangeville, as the centre of a highly talented and diverse artistic community in the region, has put art front and centre with this project. We invite you to come and explore and see the sculptures for yourself. For more information, please contact the Town of Orangeville, www.orangeville.ca
