Welcome!

Fostoria, Ohio is proud to enter our eighth year as a host community for a Midwest Sculpture Initiative outdoor exhibit in 2025/2026. Spearheaded by the Fostoria Area Visitors Bureau, this exhibit brings uniquely colorful sculptures throughout our city. We have received donations to purchase many of the pieces that were part of our previous exhibits. This tour will only showcase the eight pieces that are part of this year's temporary exhibit.

The mission of the Midwest Sculpture Initiative is to provide outdoor sculpture exhibitions throughout the Midwest, promote cooperation among art and civic organizations, advance the role that the visual arts play in the quality of life and increase economic development.
