The 2025 selections for the Orange County “Sculpture on the Lawn” program are on display.
Orange County Arts & Cultural Affairs was excited to share the 10th Annual “Sculpture on the Lawn” Season, which had an opening celebration on January 17th. This year’s spectacular sculptures were selected by the Public Art Review Board of the Arts & Cultural Affairs Advisory Council.
The 2025 selection includes:
• ‘Drop’ by John Bannon of Chicago, IL
• ‘Compostela’ by Manuel Ferreiro Badia of Coruña, Spain
• ‘Blue Mulberry’ by Lionel T. Dean of Sleaford, UK
• ‘Melt Piece’ by Maxwell Hartley of DeLand, FL
The sculptures can be viewed at the Orange County Administration Center’s Sculpture Garden, 201 S. Rosalind Avenue, Orlando, FL 32801. The current season will display from January 17, 2025 to January 14, 2026.
The sculptures also are available for purchase.
The Public Art Review Board established the Sculpture on the Lawn program in 2015. Its mission is to include public art in Orange County for the benefit and education of its citizens while enhancing the visual environment through a diversity of styles, content and artists. The program provides access to world-class art in Central Florida public spaces.
This annual exhibition outside the Orange County Administration Center features large-scale sculptures from four selected artists who receive an honorarium in exchange for loaning their works. There is also “Art in the Atrium” where exhibitions are rotated monthly, with art selected by the office of Arts and Cultural Affairs. Visual art exhibitions are also presented in the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Chambers on the first floor of the Orange County Administration Center as part of “Art in the Chambers,” where exhibitions are rotated three times a year (January, May, September).
