Welcome!
Saint
Joseph, Missouri is a unique blend of natural beauty,
rich cultural heritage, and beautiful, historic
architecture. The mission of the Saint Joseph
Sculpture Walk is to be an important, nationally
recognized platform for sculptures while educating and
inspiring the Saint Joseph community and its many
visitors.
We aim
to promote and provide public art that:
-
Enhances our natural and cultural environment;
-
Reflects our community values, the diversity of our
neighborhoods, the richness of our history, and the
promise of our future;
-
Is
in context and harmony with its setting; and
-
Promotes the vitality of our public spaces.
The Sculpture Walk is a
program of the Allied Arts Council that introduces
contemporary outdoor public art and sculptures to our
community. The Walk is a year-long exhibit of
national, juried, outdoor sculptures displayed in
Downtown St. Joseph and includes an eclectic mix of 17
sculptures from artists nationwide.
The
sculptures are owned by the artists and loaned to the
Allied Arts Council for one year. Visitors are invited
to vote for their favorite sculpture each year to
determine the recipient of the People's Choice Award.
Brochures are
available at various downtown businesses. To submit
your vote, simply tear off the voting panel and bring
it to the Allied Arts Council office, or drop it
through the mail slot at 118 S. 8th St., St. Joseph,
MO.
The
program is made possible through a partnership with
the City of St. Joseph and financial support from the
Downtown Community Improvement District, business
sponsors and individual sponsors through the Friends
of the Sculpture Walk.
All of
the artwork on display is available for purchase. For
more information, or to purchase a sculpture, please
call the Allied Arts Council at 816-233-0231. Or click
