SculptureX.org is a teaching and networking resource and promotional platform that serves as a catalyst for collaborations among arts institutions within a day's drive of Cleveland, OH and Erie, PA in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, western Pennsylvania, western New York, and Ontario, Canada.
Founded in 2010, by four regional institutions (the Cleveland Institute of Art, Edinboro University of PA, the Erie Art Museum, and The Sculpture Center) the mission of SculptureX is three-fold: to bring awareness to the work of college art faculty of the region; to share scarce resources; and to increase student interest and parent awareness of art programs in this region. A new SculptureX website will be launched soon by The Sculpture Center. |
