If you love art, and in particular, sculpture, consider taking a ride to Brookgreen Gardens later this summer for a very special display and exhibition.
Brookgreen Gardens, home to the country’s largest and most significant collection of American Figurative Sculpture, has announced the return of The National Sculpture Society’s 92nd Annual Awards Exhibition (NSS), from August 2 to October 26, 2025, in the Rosen Galleries. Recognized as the foremost annual exhibition of American figurative sculpture, the show will feature the finest contemporary works by American masters alongside rising stars, with pieces handpicked by the National Sculpture Society (NSS), the country’s first organization of professional sculptors.
The 41 works in this annual awards exhibition were selected from 326 entries by a jury including Benjamin Phillips, sculptor and 2024 National Sculpture Society Stanley Bleifeld Memorial Grant recipient, and Paul Michael, Lyme Art Association curator and gallery director. The exhibition includes bronze, marble, ceramic, wood and cardboard sculptures of wildlife, natural elements, portraits, and more. Seventeen awards will be presented by the NSS, along with the People’s Choice Award determined by votes from visitors to Brookgreen, during the awards ceremony at the exhibition’s conclusion on October 26. Winners will also have their work displayed in the 92nd Annual Award Winners Exhibition at the National Sculpture Society Gallery in New York City, from November 17, 2025, to January 23, 2026.
