Here's a look at this year's SculptureWalk pieces

Simplified: Sioux Falls City Council got a first look at the full line-up of 2025 SculptureWalk pieces Tuesday afternoon. Here's a look at the 80 sculptures that'll be installed throughout downtown in a couple of weeks.

Why it matters

• SculptureWalk has been bringing public art to Sioux Falls for 22 years now, and it's become the largest annual exhibit of public sculptures in the world. There will be 80 sculptures on display after between 150 to 200 submissions.
• The organization has grown beyond downtown to include sculptures in the Cathedral District and now the Steel District.
  • Plus, the sculptures that were on display downtown in 2024 will be on display in a variety of spots around the region including Vermillion, Watertown, the University of Sioux Falls and Avera Health, according to Jana Anderson, lead curator for the Visual Arts Center at the Washington Pavilion, which oversees SculptureWalk.
• As of last year, the SculptureWalk also includes audio tours that can be accessed via QR code at any of the sculptures, Anderson said.

"SculptureWalk is truly one of those organizations that has put Sioux Falls on the map as a destination for arts and culture," Arts Coordinator Maren Engel said.
