June 4, 2011, downtown Eau Claire will be hosting the first annual Sculpture Tour Eau Claire. Over the following 50 weeks, the 25+ sculptures will be on display throughout downtown city sidewalks and the public will be encouraged to vote for their favorite sculpture. The recently approved program is funded by sponsorships and donations from businesses and individuals, and the tour is intended to become an annual event in hopes of creating a permanent sculpture collection the entire Chippewa Valley can enjoy. But they need art, and that’s where you come in. Artists of all skill levels are encouraged to submit their original sculptures for the tour. An entry fee of $25 is required per sculpture. Requests for an application and/or more information can be sent to sculpturetour@yahoo.com. The deadline for submission is January 31. More on the Sculpture Walk program.
