It’s time for the community to make their voice heard in the annual “People’s Choice” Award presented by the 2025‑2026 Sculpture Trail of the Town of Clayton. This year, 14 exceptional sculptures by artists from North Carolina, Florida, Missouri and New York are on display across town, and everyone is invited to vote for their favorite.

The Sculpture Trail, now in its eleventh year, offers a unique way to experience public art while exploring our community. Each work has been thoughtfully selected by the town’s Public Art Advisory Board and installation committee, and participating artists are eligible for this extra layer of recognition through the People’s Choice vote.

Help choose the winner of the People’s Choice Award by submitting your vote online. Voting closes at (time, day, date), so be sure to make your voice count.

By casting a vote, you’re not only showing your appreciation for artistic talent, but you’re also helping shape the public art narrative of Clayton. Take a walk, view each piece, consider what moves you most, and then select the sculpture that stands out. 

Stay tuned for the announcement of the winner, and join us in celebrating creativity, community, and the power of collective choice.
