ART IN PUBLIC PLACES:
SCULPTURE PROGRAM

The Art in Public Places Sculpture Program brings art outside, adding character and beauty to our city streets and spaces. The annually rotating, outdoor exhibition includes sculptures installed in prominent locations throughout Knoxville, Oak Ridge, Maryville, and Alcoa.

BUSINESSES/ORGANIZATIONS: Do you want to become a sculpture site? Sculptures are leased for a 1-year period beginning each June. Do you have a great (public) site to display a piece? Let us know! Email ecurran@dogwoodarts.com or call (865) 637-4561 for more information.
