The Arc of Dreams is a monumental stainless-steel sculpture spanning the Big Sioux River between 6th and 8th streets. It was created by South Dakota Artist Laureate Dale Claude Lamphere and is nearly the length of a football field. At the center of the Arc of Dreams is a 15-foot gap, 80 feet above the river, representing the leap of faith dreamers take to see their dreams come true.

The Arc of Dreams is a tribute to the dreamers of the past and present and an inspiration to the dreamers of the future. The iconic sculpture is the signature piece of art for the city of Sioux Falls, helping to illustrate this unique and thriving modern city on the prairie.

A blade of prairie grass inspired the overall sweep of the sculpture. The structure reflects the time-tested growth pattern that allows grass to move with the wind and not fail. These grass-like arcs are then wrapped in a double helix: the carrier of all the genetic ancestry now uniquely expressed in each of us.
