SculptureCenter's diverse programming expands upon our mission and enriches the discourse between our artists and audiences. SculptureCenter continued its publications program with 3 exhibition catalogs, as well as 13 free public programs. These programs included collaborations initiated by SculptureCenter with other vital organizations in our field, including Anthology Film Archives and Protocinema. Our annual public process public art and education initiative invited 12 high school students to participate in a summer intensive course on public art and urban design, culminating in the opportunity to play a central role in commissioning and presenting a public artwork.
