Salisbury is a unique city with historic main-street charm. Public art is a mainstay in the city’s physical, cultural and economic profile. The Salisbury Sculpture Show will provide an appealing venue for artists as it exposes residents and visitors to different styles of art, generates citizen input, and cultivates art patrons for the community.
Selected pieces will be carefully sited to best enhance the sculpture’s visibility and accessibility. The Public Art Committee would like to choose one sculpture each year to add to the City’s permanent collection. In addition, cash awards may be given through local businesses and art patrons.
A 25% commission on all work sold during the show will help build funds for future public art projects.
