Description

The Moving Beyond Your Tribe podcast is now Public Figure Society Podcast

The city of Sioux Falls has taught me so much during my time here. Joining me today to share the impact of his work as a sculptor and Founder of the ‘Sculpture Walk’, is Jim Clark! Jim spent his early years working as a banker in Sioux Falls and eventually moved into art and sculpting as a creative and whimsical outlet, bringing joy to so many living in the community. 

What was most important to Jim when sharing his creations, was the necessity he had to lift the mood of those within Sioux Falls. He believed the area was too beautiful to deprive it of public art and managed to band the town together, spearheading the campaign to elevate the already existing beauty that the town possessed.

If you’re interested to hear more about Jim’s personal backstory, as well as his commitment to the installation, the ‘Sculpture Walk’, then tune in to Episode 22 of Moving Beyond Your Tribe!
