This year's People's Choice honor goes to artists Lee Leuning and Sherri Treeby for their sculpture "Maestro!" Featuring a xylophone and chimes, the interactive piece entertained young and old alike. Congratulations to Lee and Sherri and thank you for all of your years of commitment to SculptureWalk.
This piece will be purchased by the city of Sioux Falls and added to their permanent collection.
‘Best of Show’ Awards
The Best of Show awards are a part of a generous grant from the Scoular Family Trust to provide a monetary award for excellence in sculpture. Named the Virtuoso honor, artists jury each other’s work to select the Best of Show awards. The overall winner receives $2,000 and all honorees are rewarded with $1,000. The program was established in 2016 and is designed to recognize great works art and as an incentive artists to place their sculptures in Sioux Falls.
