Celebrating the arts through sculpture has become the trademark of Sculpture in the South. Over the past twelve years the Sculpture in the South Show and Sale has received recognition as one of South Carolina’s premier outdoor arts events and is fast being hailed nationally. Held in beautiful Azalea Park, this event is fueled with tradition and layered with exceptional world-class sculpture.

This is a one-of-a-kind event offering collectors and first time art enthusiasts a chance to mingle and chat with thirty-five leading fine art sculptors, representing a wide range of original artworks. All artwork is available for purchase with proceeds benefiting Summerville’s Permanent Public Sculpture Program. We are pleased that 20 pieces of bronze sculpture have been purchased and installed since 1999 through the efforts of this organization.

With tremendous success in 2010, Arts Education Week returns May 8-13. The week brings together all the arts under one umbrella and offers workshops and lectures for all ages. Regionally and internationally known instructors will be based in Summerville for the week. Workshops vary in cost and each participant receives a Show & Sale ticket. After-school workshops are also available. An exciting Lecture Series is free to the public.

Stop by the Greater Summerville Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce at 402 N. Main Street and pick up a free Hands On Guide to Summerville’s Permanent Public Sculpture and take a wonderful leisurely tour of our collection.

Directions to Azalea Park: I-26 to exit 199A. Head towards Summerville. Azalea Park is 2.5 miles from I-26 at the corner of W.5th Street South and Main Street. (Google: 118 W. 5th Street South)

Sculpture in the South is a non-profit organization that promotes the art of sculpture through education, and is dedicated to the creation of a permanent public sculpture collection that enhances Summerville, South Carolina’s public spaces -- art that everyone can enjoy.

These efforts are accomplished through the work of many dedicated people, including donors, our board, volunteers, the community, and with proceeds from our annual sculpture show and sale.
