Downtown St. Joseph is once again transforming into an open-air art gallery as the Allied Arts Council launches Sculpture Walk 2026, marking the event’s 13th year in the community.

The free, year-round exhibition features sculptures created by regional and national artists displayed throughout downtown St. Joseph. The exhibit gives residents and visitors an opportunity to experience public art while exploring local businesses and attractions.

The new season officially begins Saturday with an Artist Meet and Greet at 9:30 a.m. Guided walking tours will follow, starting at 10 a.m. and continuing every 30 minutes through 11:30 a.m.

Organizers say Sculpture Walk promotes creativity, community engagement and support for the arts. Visitors are also invited to vote for their favorite sculpture. The People’s Choice winner may receive special recognition and could be considered for permanent installation.

The exhibition will remain on display throughout the year.

Additional information, including a map of sculpture locations, is available through the Allied Arts Council.
