Summer 2009 brings the return of one of Troy, Ohio's favorite cultural events.  From May through September 20th, 2009, visitors to Troy's historic downtown business district are invited to experience one of the largest outdoor sculptural displays in Ohio.  Sculptures on the Square IV, presented by Troy Main Street, is a unique outdoor art exhibition featuring 22 original sculptures representing a unique variety of artistic approaches.   Visitors can expect to see sculptures designed from bronze, steel, wood, fiberglass, and an assortment of other materials.  From the traditional bronze and historical figures to the more whimsical and abstract pieces of work, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy.  Sculptures on the Square is a relaxing yet captivating walking tour that will showcase 13 local, regional, and national artists of extraordinary talents. 

Troy, Ohio was named one of Ohio Magazines "Best Hometowns" due, in part, to its commitment to the arts by offering a variety of free cultural events and quality exhibits to residents and visitors.  Troy's best known facility for the arts is the Troy Hayner Cultural Center located two blocks from the downtown Square.  In partnership with the Sculptures on the  Square outdoor exhibition, Troy Hayner Cultural Center is hosting an exhibit of smaller pieces not practical for an outdoor venue.  The display will be open June 28th through August 23rd and will feature over 20 small sculptures in bronze, clay, mixed media, polymer clay, stainless steel, and reclaimed wood.  Visit the Troy Hayner Cultural Center at www.troyhayner.org for details.  

Sculptures on the Square is made possible by a grant from the Troy Foundation, with partnership from the City of Troy, as well as several community businesses, organizations, and individuals.  These community partnerships help us maintain the high standards and quality of life appreciated by the citizens of Troy.
