Overview

The Washington Sculptors Group, in partnership with the American University Museum, invites you to explore this outdoor exhibition of contemporary sculptures exclusively featuring select works of its talented members.

Founded in 1984, the Washington Sculptors Group is a volunteer-led, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting sculptors and advancing public appreciation of sculpture.

The outdoor setting adds an ever-changing dimension to the exhibition, as light, weather, and the passage of time continuously transform the artworks, inviting viewers to return for a fresh experience with each visit.
