Arts in Public Places

The De Soto Arts in Public Places program is a collaboration between the De Soto Arts Council and the City of De Soto that helps build the overall identity of the city, activate public spaces, and connect people to the community.

Permanent Sculpture Exhibits

Sculptures are selected and purchased by the City Council and displayed throughout the community.

Rotating Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit

Sculptures are selected and displayed throughout De Soto for a period of one year. 

The sculptures are on loan for a stipend amount from artists throughout the country. The current outdoor sculptures on display were recommended by members of the De Soto Arts Council and approved by the De Soto City Council. 

Art Opportunities 

The annual calls for artists are held each year. For more information, or to be notified of future opportunities regarding the Arts in Public Places program, call Brandon Mills, Assistant City Administrator, at 913-586-5250.
