Community Art

Four children stand around a decorative seal statue on a sidewalk in a small town. The statue is painted with the letter 'I' and wears a collar. In the background, there is a clock tower, trees, and parked cars. American flags are visible along the street.

Our annual Bulldog Gallery public art project runs from June through September. This outdoor exhibit is open to all, and features original works of art by local artists. Statues are sponsored by area businesses and supporters of public art. Painted bulldogs remain on display all summer long!

About Us

In 2022, we launched the Bulldog Gallery Committee with the vision of creating a walking gallery of local art along Irvington’s Main Street.

In 2024, we expanded our mission to more broadly celebrate and promote public art in Irvington, and were officially appointed by the Village Board as the Irvington Arts and Culture Committee.
