About Us
Philadelphia Sculptors was formed in 1996 by
a small group of professional sculptors interested in establishing more
visibility and opportunities for Philadelphia sculptors. Our mission is
to promote contemporary sculpture and to serve as an advocate for sculptors.
In the past five years we have increased to almost two hundred members.
Our objective is to expand public awareness of the role and value of sculpture
within our culture through exhibitions, public forums, member services,
and educational outreach. Our activities fall into a number of categories.
A major focus of our efforts has been that of group exhibitions, including
shows at Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ, the Philadelphia
Fringe Festival, Washington Square in Washington, DC, Woodmere
Art Museum and the Federal
Reserve Bank exhibitions in Philadelphia. We have had exchange shows
with Hungarian Sculptors, with our members travelling to Budapest and
their members coming to Philadelphia.
Our Members Web Gallery provides PS members with the opportunity to exhibit their work to anyone who has an internet connection and a web browser.
We sponsor an annual student show
open to seniors at Philadelphia's institutions of higher learning. This
year's participants attended
In order to communicate with our members, we publish a newsletter three times a year which we mail to all PS members. This includes general information about our activities, exhibition and employment opportunities, reviews of sculpture shows, information on resources and materials, and any other topics we feel would be of interest.
We also have a slide registry where members’ slides are available for review by gallerys, collectors and institutions.
PS membership is open to all sculptors, teachers and students.
