The QC Public Art Trail has around 150 stops located throughout the Quad Cities and surrounding areas. The trail is sponsored by a partnership between Visit Quad Cities and Quad City Arts.
New to the trail this year are wind-themed exhibits, found along the Mississippi riverfront in Clinton. Additionally, the Dewitt Community Library now features two new sculptures, with future plans for a sculpture garden.
Director of Public Relations at Visit Quad Cities, Lindsey Row, said the new exhibits represent a mission of expansion and creativity in the Quad Cities.
“This new addition of all these sculptures and the continued expansion of the art trail is really just putting the Quad Cities on the map as a creative hub that has a lot of artistic vibrancy in the Midwest," Row said. "It’s our hope and our mission that we’ll continue to grow, and we’ll continue to create these narratives.”
The sculptures will remain on display until May of 2025.
For more information and a chance to win a Visa Gift card, residents can find trail locations on the QC Public Art Trail’s website.
