The iconic “Bulldog Gallery” — a public art installation along Main Street at Irvington —is returning for its third year, and time is running out to join in all the fun.
Sponsors and artists can register to participate in this vibrant public art event, bringing color and creativity to Irvington’s streets from late May until September 2025.
Local businesses, entrepreneurs, schools, governments, or individuals sponsor fiberglass statues of Irvington’s beloved sports mascot. Sponsors can pay for a full bulldog for $1,000 or co-sponsor half a bulldog for $550 in collaboration with another sponsor.
The sponsor’s name will be prominently displayed on the bulldog’s plaque and will receive recognition in the gallery’s guide and on social media. The opportunity will offer a unique chance to gain visibility and support the community.
Local artists from Westchester and beyond are invited to submit their creative designs for the bulldogs. After March 10, the sponsors will select their favorite designs. The sculptures will become beautiful, vibrant exhibits. When a bulldog is sold at the September 2025 Bulldog Gallery Auction, each artist will receive 25% of the proceeds.
“We’re thrilled to invite new and returning sponsors and artists to be part of this charming community project,” Kristina Schmidt, chair of The Bulldog Gallery Committee, said. “It’s not just about showcasing art—it’s about local artists and businesses working together, celebrating Irvington’s unique spirit, and fostering creativity.”
She added, “We can’t wait to see the fresh, imaginative designs our artists will bring to life this year.”
Sponsors and artists can register directly at bulldoggallery.org, which details all the information.
March 10 is the deadline for registration of sponsors and artists.
