SOCIETY OF PORTRAIT SCULPTORS

1953 - ?

The Society of Portrait Sculptors was founded in 1953 and is a representative body of professional sculptors committed to making portrait and figurative sculpture accessible to a wider public. The aims of The Society are to advance the art of three-dimensional and bas-relief portraiture; to maintain, promote and encourage the highest standards; to challenge preconceptions about portrait sculpture and to stimulate increased interest in an art form that is timeless yet contemporary. The Society has an Annual Open Exhibition and encourages education and training in the art through lectures, prizes, and sculpture classes.
