Each of those years has seen a brilliant display of sculptural mastery via the National Sculpture Society. And now through October 29, you can observe the incredible works of 47 contemporary sculptors featured during the 84th Annual National Sculpture Society Awards Exhibition. Where?

Each year, the display is the NSS’s most popular show. Hundreds of artists apply to the juried competition, which offers thousands of dollars in cash prizes.
