We seek to promote our local and regional art and artists. Each year, Sculpture Tour Eau Claire creates an ongoing free public art exhibit by installing original outdoor sculptures along the public streets of downtown Eau Claire. These pieces are exhibited for 11 months and artists are paid a stipend for the use of their work. Sculpture Tour Eau Claire has grown to over 80 sculptures, making it one of the largest tours of this type in the nation. Sculpture Tour Eau Claire is made possible through sponsorships by area businesses and private supporters, as well as donations from the public and thousands of volunteer hours. Sculpture Tour Eau Claire is a 501c3 non-profit organization, with the goal of enhancing the quality of life in Eau Claire by using the arts to promote tourism, encourage active lifestyles, engage residents and visitors, spur economic development, foster art education and lifelong learning, encourage social inclusion, build community pride, unify our community, promote our local artists, and revitalize downtown Eau Claire with a creative economy.
