Each year, dozens of sculptures grace the city as part of the annual Sculpture Tour Eau Claire public art installation, and now you are invited to vote for this year’s People’s Choice Award to choose your favorite from among the fantastic pieces. Explore downtown and see all the sculptures – or take a peek at them online – and vote for your favorite by Dec. 31. Ballot boxes are placed with each sculpture or you can vote online at www.sculpturetour.org/peoples-choice-2020. The winner of this award will have their sculpture included in downtown Eau Claire’s permanent art collection. The artworks now displayed are valued at more than $500,000, according to the Sculpture Tour’s website, and Sculpture Tour Eau Claire is the second largest tour of its kind in the nation. This year’s pieces will be exhibited for 11 months, with artists being paid a stipend for the use of their work until the tour’s conclusion when sculptures are offered for sale.
