Bringing Sculpture to You!
"Sculpture in the South is a non-profit
organization dedicated to promoting sculpture through education
and the creation of a permanent sculpture collection." - Mission Statement
Since 1999, twenty-one bronze sculptures have been installed throughout
public spaces in the town of Summerville, South Carolina. In 2009,
as a sculpture facilitator for individuals, businesses, corporations,
the organization established the Sculpture in the South Extended
Collection.
Annually in May, Sculpture in the South focuses on its Sculpture
in the South Show & Sale. Some years, the Show & Sale is
preceded by Arts Education Week and thousands of people visit beautiful
historic Summerville to experience both events. More than 35 world-class
sculptors present their artwork for sale during the Show & Sale
nestled in Azalea Park. Noted as South Carolina’s premiere outdoor
arts event, the weekend has drawn national recognition and has
become a mainstay within the community. Proceeds from the event
go to support sculpture purchases for the Summerville Permanent
Public Sculpture Collection.
