About The Eau Claire Sculpture Tour
The Eau Claire Sculpture Tour is free public art!
Each year, the Eau Claire Sculpture Tour creates an ongoing 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. All sculptures are offered for sale. The Eau Claire Sculpture Tour has grown to over 120 sculptures, making it the #1 largest sculpture tour in the nation!
This 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 EC is a 501c3 non-profit organization, with the goal of enhancing the quality of life in Eau Claire by using the arts to:
