STREET SCULPTURE PROJECT
The Paisley Street Sculpture Project is modeled after street sculpture projects in Elora and Haliburton. During the summer season, sculptures are on public display in the gardens at the Paisley Memorial Community Centre in Paisley, Ontario on stunning Eramosa limestone bases. In exchange for an honorarium and marketing support, sculptors loan their works to PAS to share with the community. All sculptures are available for purchase by contacting the artist.
​
This project began in 2022 with the financial assistance of EPCOR, Bruce Power, and the Society of United Professionals. The Municipality of Arran-Elderslie generously provides space for the sculptures and staff support as needed.
The Paisley Artscape Society extends much gratitude to artists David Robertson, Kelly Probyn-Smith and Darrell Markewitz for their generous guidance and support to launch the inaugural season of the Paisley Street Sculpture Project.
