Created and managed by Eau Claire area volunteers, Sculpture Tour Eau Claire (STEC) provides an outdoor, interactive, free exhibit of sculptures displayed nearly year-round, twenty-four hours a day. The sculptures are owned by the artists who created them and are loaned to Eau Claire’s exhibit for 48-50 weeks. The artists are from North America and abroad; their work features a variety of styles, materials, and sizes. Each May a new set of sculptures arrives in the Eau Claire community for display and enjoyment.

Community members can vote on their favorite sculptures; the one that receives the most votes wins that year's People's Choice award. Sculpture Tour Eau Claire then purchases the People's Choice winner and donates it to the City of Eau Claire, which puts it on permanent display.
