On The Avenues Art on the Avenues was founded in May 1994 as a year-long outdoor sculpture exhibit by a group of Wenatchee Valley art patrons and volunteers. Today, Art on the Avenues operates as an independent nonprofit organization run by a volunteer board.
Artists agree to loan their works to the organization for a year.
During that time the pieces are displayed outdoors on pedestals. The organization agrees to purchase at least one sculpture over the course of a year and donate it back to the community for permanent placement. The other sculptures are for sale and can be purchased by anyone, either private or public. At the end of the year, the sculptures not sold are removed. They are then replaced by the next year's exhibit.
