Sculpture in the Garden: New Outdoor Art at the Arboretum
Reeves-Reed Arboretum is thrilled to unveil new sculptural installations on our grounds, showcasing the work of two innovative artists whose creations celebrate nature, sustainability, and transformation. We invite you to explore these remarkable works and experience the inspiring intersection of art and nature throughout the Arboretum.
This year, we feature Aristides, a captivating willow sculpture of a horse by Kentucky-based artist Justin Roberts. Blending rustic elegance with organic form, this powerful piece captures the grace and movement of its subject through intricately woven willow. Crafted entirely from natural materials, Aristides reflects Roberts’ deep connection to the land and his commitment to sustainability. Discover more of his work at stickbender.com.
We’re also proud to showcase artwork by José Criollo, an Ecuadorian-born artist now based in Worcester, Massachusetts. Known for his inventive use of reclaimed metal, Criollo transforms discarded materials into expressive, whimsical forms that fuse industrial edge with artistic imagination. His work powerfully embodies the idea of giving “a second chance to what people said was trash.” Learn more about his unique creations at criolloart.com.
The sculptures will be on display in the Arboretum garden through September 2025.
