Vivid Creatures, a new outdoor art exhibition at The Morton Arboretum, is an invitation to explore connections with the natural world through giant, colorful, playful animal sculptures placed outdoors amid towering trees and sweeping green vistas. Each artwork tells a story about the relationships between creatures and the ecosystems where they live.
Guests of all ages can delight in an oversized deer, snail, squirrel, dragonfly, and sandhill crane—all animals native to northern Illinois—depicted in brightly decorated larger-than-life artworks up to 24 feet tall. The sculptures will be placed among the tree collections and natural areas of The Morton Arboretum, the Chicago area’s largest public garden, where some of these creatures live.
