Public Art

The Town of Caledon’s Art in the Halls program is designed to showcase original artwork from Caledon artists to the public in Recreation and Culture facilities across Caledon. The program launched in 2024 and seeks to provide opportunity for artists to showcase their work in exhibition space and provide a platform for emerging artists, instructors and students in the community at large. The Town of Caledon’s Art in the Halls program operates at four (4) facilities across Caledon. Space in each facility is available to artists for a 12-week period each season.

Artists will be featured on this webpage and the Art in the Halls program will be featured on Town social media channels to promote the program.

The theme for the Fall 2025 exhibition period is: Autumn in the Hills 

Our current artists on display as part of the Fall exhibition can be found at the various facilities. Please visit and support our local artists!
