Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition

We are currently seeking outdoor works for our sculpture garden!

​

This outdoor sculpture exhibition is curated in partnership between Sloss Metal Arts and the Mid-South Sculpture Alliance (MSA). The Sculpture Garden was established in 2023 with support from the Alabama State Council on the Arts, located on the Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark in Birmingham, AL.

Founded in 2006, the Mid-South Sculpture Alliance is a non-profit organization formed to promote the creation and awareness of sculpture in its many and varied forms within our communities while providing a supportive environment for sculpture and sculptors. MSA advances the understanding that sculpture educates, affects social change, and engages artists, art professionals, and the community in dialogue. Its membership is open to anyone, anywhere, with an interest in and commitment to the field of sculpture - including sculptors, art educators, patrons, collectors, galleries, museums, and more.
