Brookgreen Gardens to Display Premier Exhibition of American Figurative Sculpture

Press Release

The National Sculpture Society’s 89th Annual Awards Exhibition, the premier annual exhibition of American figurative sculpture, will return to Brookgreen Gardens once again from Aug. 6 – Oct. 23, 2022, in the Rosen Galleries. Brookgreen, home to the largest and most significant collection of American figurative sculpture in the world, is the only venue for this exceptional annual exhibition. The National Sculpture Society (NSS) is the first organization of professional sculptors in the country and handpicks pieces for this exhibition, presenting the finest in contemporary figurative sculpture by American masters alongside rising stars.

“This annual exhibition supports our mission to collect and display the finest American sculpture and continues our longstanding relationship with the NSS since our founders, the Huntingtons, were members and supporters of the organization,” says Page Kiniry, President and CEO of Brookgreen. “We are thrilled that Brookgreen is once again the venue for this exceptional display of artwork, and we hope visitors will take this opportunity to enjoy works from some of the country’s best contemporary sculptors.”

The 37 works in this exhibition are selected by a jury from hundreds of entries. Works are made of materials including bronze, wood, silicone, plaster, terracotta, cast aluminum, resin, marble, and steel. Seventeen awards will be presented by the NSS, along with the People’s Choice Awards, determined by votes from visitors to Brookgreen, which will be announced at the exhibit’s conclusion.
