Sculpture Tucson is a non-profit organization committed to being a hub for the creation, exhibition, and appreciation of sculpture.

 

Sculpture Tucson’s headquarters are located at the Post House at 3420 East River Road within Pima County’s Brandi Fenton Memorial Park. The Post House is the former family home of notable Tucson artist Howard Post. It now serves as offices for the organization.

 

Proceeds from the annual Sculpture Tucson Festival Show & Sale are used in part to purchase, donate and exhibit sculpture in public settings. We strive to foster engagement, dialogue, and appreciation of sculpture for the public and access to professional opportunities for artists.Our organization works with local community partners and government entities, as well as art and business organizations to help connect sculptors to resources.

 

Our goals include sustaining the annual Sculpture Festival; mounting exihibits in our public sculpture park; placing art in public spaces, and becoming a resource for diverse artists and patrons, local and international communities.
