Public Art

Art in the Halls - Applications for the 2026-2027 exhibition are now open! 

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 three facilities across Caledon. Space in each facility is available to artists for a period of a year, with an option to extend and rotate art based on interest and availability. 

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. 

Our current artists on display as part of the 2025 exhibition can be found at the various facilities. Please visit and support our local artists!
