Sculpters from across the country were in Little Rock Sunday for the Sculpture at the River Market event.
People from as far away as Colorado came together to appreciate each other's works of art and compete for the People's Choice Award.
Participants went to a preview party Friday night to vote on which sculpture they thought should be placed on the riverfront next year.
They were able to do a little more browsing and appreciate each other's art Sunday.
Participant Kim Shaklee said, "It's one of the most wonderful exposures for an artist -- to be able to come to an area and appreciate sculpture. This venue has so many different things to offer -- something for everyone; a lot of variety."
Also, last year's winner piece, titled "The Center," was dedicated and was on display on the riverfront this year.
