2014 EDITION u MORE SCULPTURES u MORE ART u NEW SITES

ART is an adventure – a visual medium that thrills the eye & stimulates the senses.art takes us to places we never thought we’d go.

let this free, self-guided art and sculpture tour take you somewhere you’ve never been — Newton, iowa! Walk, bike or drive through this charming town filled with spectacular art that appeals to every style and sensibility. Come be inspired – your adventure awaits!

NAVIGATING NEWToNThe City of Newton is laid out in an easy-to-follow grid and quadrant pattern. For the purpose of this tour, and to help guide you through nearly 90 installations of art and sculpture, here are a few tips:

■ Jasper County Courthouse is the center point — located on The Square at 1st Avenue and 1st Street (look for h on the maps)

■ Avenues run east and west

■ Streets run north and south

For example: If you’re east of the Courthouse and north of 1st Avenue, you would be in the Northeast quadrant so a street address in that area would be East xx Street North, or an avenue address would be North xx Avenue East.

■ The Newton Sculpture Tour is divided into three smaller tours: DOWNTOWN – An exploration focusing on sculptures and wall murals located in the central part of town, most within walking distance of each other. The INNER CIRCLE, a more moderate jaunt; and the OuTER CIRCLE featuring slightly more dispersed installations. For the more distant tours, use a bicycle or car.
