It takes a big and unique idea to pay tribute to dreamers of the past and present, and inspire dreamers for generations to come.

We're calling this idea the Arc of Dreams, a massive stainless-steel sculpture that spans the length of a football field across the Big Sioux River downtown between 6th and 8th streets. At the center of the Arc of Dreams is a 15-foot gap, 85-feet above the river, representing the leap of faith dreamers take to see their dreams come true.

"The Arc of Dreams is the [SculptureWalk](/listing/sculpturewalk) capstone, recognizing and elevating this art program to national prominence," said Jim Clark, SculptureWalk founder and the thrust behind the Arc of Dreams.

It is a signature piece of art for the city of Sioux Falls, helping to illustrate what we want to be… a unique and thriving modern city on the prairie.

But first, you have to take a leap of faith...
