ArtInPlace: Public Art Competition in Charlottesville, Va. Sculptures

Current Sculpture Exhibit 2007 - 2008

The sculpture program, under the sponsorship of City Council, has established sites around the City of Charlottesville to make art accessible to the general public. The outdoor sculptures selected for exhibition should provide the community with a wide range of artistic styles, themes and media which enhance our concepts of space and place and enliven our sense that art has the power to move us.

This program of temporary exhibitions is designed to provide interesting art to drivers in their travels about the City. Located in various neighborhoods along busy streets and supported by background information on the Web, the works are meant to enliven the urban experience. The program is funded by an initial grant from the City of Charlottesville and is maintained by commissions and donations to defray the cost of installing sculpture on other public sites.
