SCULPTUREWALK
The Vermillion Cultural Association became the organizational home for the Vermillion SculptureWalk in 2023. Our downtown SculptureWalk features six artworks.
As stewards of this public art program, we oversee the selection, installation, and funds for the sculptures, in conjunction with SculptureWalk Sioux Falls. The sculptures are leased for and replaced with new new works every two years. The biennial rotation keeps the community ambience refreshed and offers artists the opportunity to submit their pieces for consideration. We’re grateful to work in partnership with the University of South Dakota’s SculptureWalk Committee and SculptureWalk Sioux Falls.
COMING SOON! An audioguide tour of the SculptureWalk pieces, downtown murals, and other artworks. Follow us on social for updates.
