Think About Becoming a 2026 Sculpture Walk Sponsor!
As we look ahead to the 2026 Sculpture Walk, we invite businesses, organizations and individuals to consider becoming a sponsor or donor and playing a role in bringing public art to our community once again.
The Sculpture Walk has become a meaningful part of our downtown experience adding creativity to everyday spaces, encouraging people to explore, and supporting artists while making art accessible to everyone. Each piece placed along the walk tells a story, sparks conversation, and helps create a sense of place that residents and visitors alike can enjoy.
Why Support the Sculpture Walk?
Supporting the Sculpture Walk is about more than funding art. It's about investing in community. Public art helps activate downtown spaces, draws foot traffic to local businesses, and creates shared experiences that bring people together. For artists, it provides an opportunity to showcase their work in a public setting. For the community, it offers free, year-round access to creativity.
Whether you've admired the sculptures on your daily walk, enjoyed showing them to visitors, or appreciate the role they play in strengthening our cultural landscape, sponsorship helps ensure the walk continues to grow and thrive.
Multiple Levels of Giving
We understand that every supporter's capacity looks different, which is why the 2026 Sculpture Walk offers multiple levels of giving. From major sponsors to individual donors, every contribution, regardless of size, makes a difference. Support at any level helps cover the costs associated with artist stipends, installation, and promotion of the Sculpture Walk.
Participation is not one-size-fits-all. Some sponsors value visibility and recognition, while others give simply because they believe in supporting art and community. All forms of support are appreciated and meaningful.
A Visible and Lasting Impact
Sculpture Walk sponsorship is a visible way to show commitment to creativity, placemaking, and community pride. Public art remains on display for an extended period, creating ongoing impact well beyond a single event or season. Sponsors and donors help make that possible.
Consider Joining Us
As planning begins for the 2026 Sculpture Walk, now is the perfect time to think about how you or your business might get involved. Whether you're new to supporting the arts or a longtime advocate, we welcome your participation and look forward to sharing another inspiring year of public art with the community.
If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship opportunities or making a donation, we'd love to connect and talk through the options available. Please call Jean Van Iperen at 402-562-4273.
Together, we can continue building a Sculpture Walk that reflects the creativity, generosity and spirit of our community.
