The council invites sculptors to submit work for a one-year sculpture exhibition from June 2025 through May 2026.
The theme: “Whimsical Walk with the Arts” celebrates a new children’s museum that will be opening in downtown St Joseph, Missouri, where the majority of the sculptures are on display. The Arts Council hopes this exhibit will work in tandem with the new museum so that families have the opportunity to not only enjoy art inside the four walls of InspireU Children’s Discovery Center but also on the beautiful streets of downtown St Joseph.
