Welcome to the Columbus Sculpture Walk—an exciting and evolving visual arts experience located in the heart of the Trackside District - Downtown Columbus. With support from the City of Columbus and in collaboration with Sculpture Walk Across Nebraska (SWAN), this program brings public art directly into our community’s shared spaces, making creativity accessible to all.
As part of the SWAN network, Columbus benefits from an annual rotation of sculptures that showcase a diverse range of styles and artists from across the region and beyond. SWAN helps participating communities like ours by supporting the installation and sustainability of their local sculpture programs.
The Sculpture Walk encourages walkability and exploration in the Trackside District, inviting residents and visitors alike to take a closer look at their surroundings and discover something new around every corner. This year, the walk features 9 sculptures, with 2 more added each year, gradually expanding throughout downtown and sparking continued interest and engagement.
Come walk, wonder, and experience Columbus through art.
