ART WALK MAP 2026
Nibbles
by Mark Hall
(located on Main Street between 3rd and 4th Streets)
I recall as a child being so fascinated by watching an inchworm going about his daily business. It provided a little spark of joy for me - something about making a connection and having gratitude and respect for life.
About Mark Hall
Mark Hall has worked professionally in art glass since 1976, learning the trade through on-the-job training and numerous key workshops. In 1982, Hall was hired by master glass craftsman Warren Olson, schooled in the German tradition, and focused on the fabrication and installation of ecclesiastical stained glass windows across the country.
In 1988, Hall followed the studio artist movement, founding Hallmark Art Glass with his wife, Leslie Munchhof. This led to the creation of sculptures combining forged metal with blown, fused, or bent glass inserts beginning in the year 2000.
Hall shares knowledge by conducting residencies at public schools and privately in his studio in Kasota, Minnesota. He continues their business of creating meaningful site-specific commissions and sculptures for city sidewalk rotations.
Canine Condos
by Jim Clark
(located on in The Pocket Park at the intersection of 3rd Street and Main Street, near Nodaway Valley Bank)
They say, "Our Dogs are Living The Life." Made of stainless steel and glass, this sculpture boasts numerous mini-condo windows with each one displaying fun and whimsical canine figures!
About Jim Clark
Jim Clark retired from a 23-year career in banking, followed by 13 years as Principal Manager of SD Xcel Energy. In 2004, he founded Sculpture Walk Sioux Falls.

Spring Study 1
(located on 3rd street between Main Street and Market Street, near Minnie Lane)
Inspired by the observations of when snow melts to expose new elements of the landscape.
Kaleidoscope
By James and Ryan Pedersen
(located on 4th Street between Main Street and Market Street, near the License Bureau)
Inspired by the interplay of light and shadow to add layers of complexity to the ever-changing composition. This design becomes a testament to the harmonious coexistence of contrasting elements, embodying the unity that arises from diversity
Full Bio: Sculptors James and Ryan Pedersen are a father/son collaborative team who create welded constructions in relief and free-standing form. The combinations of steel, brass, and copper are used in most designs. The earthy colors and textures are achieved through welding, cutting, grinding, and heat-treating these materials.
The finished artwork illustrates their combined passion for the outdoor environment, presenting these elements in an artistic selection with a stylized approach that evokes various interpretations of the modern landscape.

Gem
by Jeffrey Satter

I set out to design a piece with fine lines, delicate curves and intricate detail. After putting pencil to paper, I had a piece looking like fine jewelry. Subsequently, I named it "GEM."
