In collaboration with Arts Missoula and the City's Public Art Committee, Missoula Parks and Recreation is seeking community input on the potential expansion of sculptural art in Silver Park.
A sculpture walk is essentially an outdoor gallery where durable sculptures are placed amidst landscaped settings. Many cities nationwide have designated public areas for these installations, providing accessible art that fosters community identity, pride, and a sense of belonging, ultimately enriching the lives of residents and visitors alike.

A sculpture walk is essentially an outdoor gallery where durable sculptures are placed amidst landscaped settings. Many cities nationwide have designated public areas for these installations, providing accessible art that fosters community identity, pride, and a sense of belonging, ultimately enriching the lives of residents and visitors alike.
Funding for acquiring, installing, and maintaining the sculptures would come from grants and donations rather than public funds. A community-driven non-profit is being established to raise these funds, with oversight from the City's Public Art Committee ensuring a transparent public review process. Parks and Recreation would manage the park and trail operations around the sculptures with minimal costs to the City.
We invite your thoughts on whether introducing a sculptural art walk would positively enhance Silver Park. Please review the Project Overview and share your feedback through a brief public survey by Monday, March 25. Your input is valuable to us! For project updates, sign up under "Stay Informed" on the right. Have a question or comment? Use the "Questions" module below. We appreciate your interest and look forward to hearing from you!

Great question, thanks for asking! The City’s Public Art Committee will review each proposed piece in an open public process. The Parks and Recreation Director will have final approval authority for each piece proposed to be displayed in Silver Park. The initial proposal is to display up to five pieces. Sculptural pieces are expected to be rotated with new pieces over time.
