SculptureWalk transforms downtown Sioux Falls into an open-air art gallery each spring, showcasing over 70 new sculptures annually. This dynamic exhibition not only beautifies the city but also offers art enthusiasts the chance to purchase these unique pieces.

The City of Sioux Falls demonstrates its commitment to public art by acquiring one sculpture each year for its permanent collection.

Since its inception in 2003, SculptureWalk has brought nearly 1,200 sculptures to the streets of Sioux Falls, with over 220 finding permanent homes through sales.

The program's success has led to expansions, with satellite exhibitions now gracing the Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center campus, the University of Sioux Falls, downtown Vermillion, the University of South Dakota, and Watertown.

Artists interested in participating in the 2025 SculptureWalk are invited to submit their applications by October 1, 2024. The submission should include photos of up to three sculptures and an artist statement.

Artists can visit the Sculpture Walk website for application details and additional information.

Food Network Shows That Have Been To South Dakota

Living here in the upper Midwest we don't end up on national TV shows very often. That's probably a good thing in the long run.

But it is pretty cool when something from South Dakota is on TV. Three shows from the Food Network family of shows have showcased South Dakota restaurants.

You may remember when Guy Fieri and Diners Drive-ins and Dives was in Sioux Falls in June of 2020 to visit some of our city's unique establishments.

A few years ago the Travel Channel Show Food Paradise visited Deadwood.

If you remember the 'golden age' of Foot Network, back when Rachel Ray was the queen of the channel, she took her show $40 a Day to Rapid City in 2005.
