Sculpture Show

Sculptures by artists from across the Eastern United States now have temporary homes in downtown Salisbury, at local colleges, and throughout our community. The Salisbury sculpture Sculpture Show runs from May to April each year.

Works are carefully selected from an open application process and represent a wide range of sculptural styles and materials. Each sculpture is placed to best complement the piece and its setting. The first stop on your tour is the Visitor’s Center at 204 East Innes Street where you may pick up a brochure and begin your walking tour of the sculptures within historic downtown Salisbury. Brochures are also available at the Rowan Public Library, Rowan Museum, Waterworks Visual Arts Center and at local downtown businesses, restaurants and galleries.

The Salisbury Sculpture Show is divided into two sections. The first section is our downtown sculpture show, which has been ongoing since 2008. The Community section features sculptures throughout Salisbury and at local colleges.

On your way in or out of town, take note of “Salisbury Foursome” at I-85 Exit 76, the permanent colorful 4-piece sculpture installed in each quadrant of the interchange.
