Annual Sculpture Walk returns for its 12th year
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The Allied Arts Council is set to host its yearlong outdoor sculpture exhibit with new additions in Downtown St. Joseph.
The Sculpture Walk features 14 art pieces created by artists from Missouri and all across North America. One of the new arrivals is 'Rollin...Rollin...Rollin' by artist Justin Diester of Louisville, Colorado.
This year's theme, 'Whimsical Walk with the Arts,' was chosen by the Allied Arts Council and the Visual Arts Committee to coordinate with the children's museum.
"Our yearly Sculpture Walk is a perfect family activity. With inspireU now down the street, having a whimsical sculpture walk allows those families a chance to also tour Downtown before or after they play at inspireU," the press release said.
Viewers can vote for their favorite sculpture by filling out the ballot in the walking tour brochure and placing it in one of the ballot boxes in Downtown. The ballots can also be dropped off at the Allied Arts Council office, located at 118 S. Eighth St., or the St. Joseph Convention and Visitors Bureau at 911 Frederick Ave.
The first walk is scheduled to take place at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 18. It is free and open to the public.
