Mankato's 16th CityArt Walking Sculpture Tour is a vibrant celebration of art and community, offering a unique experience for visitors. This year, the tour features 26 sculptures, a slight decrease from previous years due to construction challenges. The event showcases the talent of local artists and volunteers, who have contributed to the creation and installation of these pieces. One notable addition is 'Steel Prairie Sentinel' by Chase Gerdts, which takes the top spot in front of Pub 500. The tour includes a variety of locations, including the base of the Veterans Memorial Bridge, despite its current construction. The sculptures are accompanied by informational brochures and the People's Choice Award Ballets, adding an interactive element to the experience. This event is a testament to the power of community engagement and the beauty of public art, offering a refreshing break from the ordinary and inviting us to explore the city in a new light.
