AAG Sculptors’ Group

The Sculptors' Group consists of professional and amateur sculptors working in a variety of media. The Group serves as a forum for sculptors to exchange ideas and technical information about 3-dimensional art. The Sculptors’ Group is available to all AAG members who are interested in sculpture, whether it is their primary art interest or not. The Sculptors’ Group has been meeting for 20 years and is a vital adjunct of AAG.

Most of our meetings, with the exception of trips to artists’ studios, are in the AAG Building. Please check the agenda below each month for dates, times and locations of meetings, since they will be changing as our agenda evolves.

Also, please check our blog at sculptorsgroup.blogspot.com for information about upcoming events and photos of our past activities.
