SculptureCenter, located in Long Island City, New York, has been a significant player in the international art scene since its establishment in 1928. Founded by artists, the gallery has a rich history of supporting artistic innovation and independent thought, with a particular emphasis on sculpture's potential to change the way we engage with the world.

SculptureCenter's programs explore and reflect the current concerns of and around contemporary sculpture. Taking the history and legacy of sculpture as its foundation, the center considers the ways that artists are thinking about three-dimensional work. In supporting new ideas and artistic research, SculptureCenter identifies the most compelling practices and experiments that relate to the history of sculpture.

The center introduces emerging artists, commissions work of the highest quality in New York, and provides direct support to the artists for the creation of new work, including production funds, curatorial support, and honoraria. To facilitate deep public engagement and encourage dialogue between visitors of all ages, artists, and their work, SculptureCenter hosts free events and programs that complement and extend beyond its exhibitions. These include lectures, panel discussions with leaders in the field of contemporary art and other related fields, readings, workshops, video screenings, and performances.

SculptureCenter also produces publications including exhibition catalogs and artist books. Since relocating to Long Island City in 2001, SculptureCenter has presented works by over nine hundred artists through its annual exhibition program, and today, it is considered one of New York’s most important kunsthalles. Placing emphasis on investment, inclusiveness, independence, transparency, and rigor, SculptureCenter has developed a strong reputation for championing underrecognized and emerging artists, many of whom have gone on to celebrated and substantial careers.

SculptureCenter stands as a beacon of contemporary art, providing a platform for international artists and fostering a vibrant and inclusive art community. As it continues to evolve and expand, the gallery remains committed to showcasing the works of artists who reflect the Zeitgeist and to providing a unique and engaging experience for all who visit.
