Update: The Sculpture Center has relocated its galleries and offices to 12210 Euclid Avenue and will re-open in November.
Founded in 1989, The Sculpture Center is one of the only cultural institutions providing critical resources to sculptors along their journey. We believe that no matter their career stage, artists of all voices and backgrounds are vital for envisioning a better world and contributing to the communities we want to live in. We enrich the cultural landscape through our five tenets and hope you will share our vision to become a regionally and nationally recognized cultural space for sculptors where creative ideas, experiences and the community connect and flourish.
TSC’s keystone program, Revealed, offers 4-6 artists annually in the first ten years of their career the opportunity to create work for a solo exhibition. Revealed helps leverage gallery representation, direct grant funding, university positions, tenure, and most importantly, the creation of work without commercial constraints. Revealed has advanced the careers of over 125 sculptors who have gone on to highly regarded careers.
In 2000 TSC founded the Ohio Outdoor Sculpture (OOS) database following its participation in Save Outdoor Sculpture! OOS is the largest online collection of images, historical data and condition information of a growing list of 1,500 publicly accessible outdoor sculptures in Ohio. OOS encourages communities to recognize, appreciate, and preserve their outdoor public sculpture.
In 2010 TSC helped form SculptureX (SX) to support the community of teaching institutions, faculty, and students of visual arts programs of sculpture in our region through an annual symposium and student exhibitions. Today TSC serves as the nexus of SX and helps develop closer connections, networking, and career growth opportunities for a broad community of sculptors.
Through a year-round series of exhibitions, talks, and educational programs, TSC enriches the region’s cultural, historical, and aesthetic landscape with meaningful explorations and interactions with contemporary art, artists, and community.
