The Arts & Culture Committee of Irvington
On May 29th, the community participated in the Bulldog Festival around town and explored the 24 new bulldog statues on display. These bulldogs highlight the incredible work done by our talented local artists and students! Each statue is a unique, handcrafted piece of art.
The bulldogs will remain on display throughout the village for the public to enjoy until fall, when they'll be auctioned off. Each has a metal plaque with its name, artist, and sponsor. Take a stroll through Main Street and visit the bulldogs yourself!
For the past few months, the Butterfly Gallery Pollinator Exhibit has been on display all across Main Street. This unique exhibit mixed together art with ecological infrastructure, transforming high-traffic areas into thriving habitats for local butterflies and bees.
Although the ten sculptures are no longer out on display, the gardens, which contain native plants carefully selected to provide food and shelter to our pollinators, still remain in several locations throughout Main Street. Come take a look for yourself!
Welcome to the home of the Irvington Arts & Culture Committee! We believe that art does more than decorate a village—it connects neighbors, stimulates our local economy, and can even support our local environment.
From the original Bulldog Gallery that started it all to to our new ecological installations, we are committed to bringing accessible, high-quality public art to the Main Street corridor. Whether you are a resident, a local business, or a visitor, we invite you to explore our galleries and participate in our upcoming community projects!
The Irvington Arts & Culture Committee is powered by volunteers and community partnerships. Whether it’s helping the Beautification Committee and Girl Scouts maintain our pollinator gardens or sponsoring a future sculpture, there are many ways to leave your mark on the village.
