Art Sculpture Walk
Art Walk Albert Lea is excited to be accepting submissions for its first sculpture collection! Local artists will have the opportunity to have their pieces displayed on and around the various beautiful walking paths throughout our town to be enjoyed by the community. There are no specific visions for the sculptures, so we encourage you to get creative with your choice of weatherproof medium! Area artists of all skill levels are invited to submit draft ideas for their proposal. Artwork guidelines along with additional information on the project can be found here. We look forward to seeing your submissions!
How Do I Get Involved?
THANK YOU!
It truly takes a village to create & sustain a public arts program!
We can't think these folks enough for their contributions!
