This year’s pieces in the Sculpture Walk will be unveiled this weekend. 

According to St. Joseph Allied Arts Council Executive Director Teresa Fankhauser, 17 pieces will be part of the annual walk. 

“The sculptures are, once again, a wide mix of classical bronze and then more abstract art,” Fankhauser said. “Then we have one of my favorites, ‘Cow and Calf,’ and it’s made with iron and boulders. It’s just incredible.” 

Fankhauser said each year they put out a call to artists, inviting them to submit their works for consideration for the annual walk. 

“The artists come in June and install their work and then that work is here for an entire year,” Fankhauser said. “At the end of the year, that work goes away and we have a new group come in. It’s all about helping downtown St. Joseph be a place of interest and where things change. It brings new people and even the same people down each year to check out the sculptures and see what all is going on downtown.” 

A free walking tour will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday beginning at the clock tower near Coleman Hawkins Park at 8th and Felix Streets.
