Arts & Entertainment

Oro Valley is proud of the public art that adorns entryways, trails and buildings in our community. The town has over 200 pieces of Public Art throughout the community; easily located with our convenient interactive online art tour. In 2021 the Town of Oro Valley commissioned our first two murals with more on the way, and continues to make a strong commitment to artists in our community. 

Oro Valley also has multiple galleries featuring multiple artists from across the Southwest.
