SCULPTUREWALK
The Vermillion Cultural Association became the organizational home for the Vermillion SculptureWalk in 2023. Our downtown SculptureWalk features six artworks.
As stewards of this public art program, we oversee the selection, installation, and funds for the sculptures, in conjunction with SculptureWalk Sioux Falls. The sculptures are leased on a two-year cycle, which keeps our downtown a fresh, attractive area for residents and visitors. We’re grateful to work in partnership with the University of South Dakota’s SculptureWalk Committee and SculptureWalk Sioux Falls.
2026 is a rotation year for the Sculpture Walk—we look forward to welcoming our next set of sculptures this spring!
Want to help bring the artwork to town? Use the blue form to help us pay the artists for leasing their work to our community.
Your contribution is more than a donation: it’s a way to shape the atmosphere of Vermillion’s downtown life. We can attest that the sculptures attract attention, spark conversation, and grow community pride!
