About
Castlegar Sculpturewalk began in 2010 featuring just ten sculptures – cut to today: with thirty pieces in our annual rotating program, and more than triple that number throughout the city and region, and it’s easy to see why Castlegar’s known as The Sculpture Capital of CanadaTM!
Now in our 15th year, Sculpturewalk’s vibrant, dynamic public art program has garnered world-wide attention and captured the hearts of the community. Castlegar’s growing downtown is Sculpturewalk’s canvas: an incredible outdoor gallery which fosters and supports our talented local artists as well as attracting talent from across the globe. Not only does our program beautify Castlegar, it provides a huge draw to regional and international visitors, making us the top-rated local attraction on TripAdvisorTM.
Each sculpture along the walk is available for sale and lease, and all viewers are encouraged to vote for their favourite piece via ballot. The sculpture with the highest vote wins the People’s Choice Award which is purchased by the City of Castlegar for their permanent collection. Combined cash prizes of $7,000 are also awarded to the top three People’s Choice placements, and the top three Artistic Merit placements (juried by professional artists and curators). The support and vision of the City of Castlegar, local businesses, community, and of course, the artists, have enabled the Sculpturewalk to thrive, and we look forward to knocking your socks off with another year of amazing art!
