About Us
Imagine
A breathtaking outdoor space crafted with extraordinary art and landscape design. Sculpture in the Landscape works with corporate clients, individuals and artists to create the ideal landscape. We produce unique, artistic and environmental legacies. The ideas start here!
PERSONAL ENRICHMENT, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL ENHANCEMENT
Sculpture in the Landscape offers much more than the simple combination of striking art placed perfectly within a stunning landscape design.
Sculpture in the Landscape lifts the spirits, energizes the senses, and changes lives.
Sculpture in the Landscape
We are a total service, outdoor art consulting and resource company designed to work with artists, designers, owners, and agencies. We believe more companies, developers, institutions, municipalities and individuals would acquire outdoor art if the process was simple, all inclusive, and a fundamental confidence in the outcome could be achieved.
Our Goal
Sculpture in the Landscape endeavors to increase both the quality and the quantity of outdoor art and to ensure that it flourishes in just the right space. In doing so, Sculpture in the Landscape enhances the art, its surroundings and the lives of all who experience each Sculpture in the Landscape.
