Sculptors Invited to Help Shape Downtown Fergus Falls’ Public Art Experience

Fergus Falls, MN — The City of Fergus Falls Public Arts Commission (PAC) is thrilled to announce its second Call for Art for the Fergus Falls Sculpture Walk. An exciting opportunity for regional artists to showcase their work in a vibrant, walkable public art tour in downtown Fergus Falls.

Applications are now open through Thursday, August 14, 2025. Selected works will be on display from May 2026 through April 2027, with artists receiving a $2,000 honorarium per selected sculpture.

Thanks to generous private funding from local foundations, the PAC will install six new sculptures as part of this rotating exhibition. These funders share a commitment to making art accessible to all and believe public art can enhance community vitality and economic growth. Artworks will be prominently displayed along Lincoln Avenue—connecting visitors and locals alike with inspiring creativity as they shop downtown, stroll to the farmers market, or visit Spies Park and the riverfront.
