sculpture network’s aim is the advancement of three-dimensional art by creating interest in sculpture and thus enhancing marketing and sales possibilities for sculptors.

Public perception of this art form must be intensified, as all types of art and media are in competition for the attention of an interested audience and of potential clients. The association of museums and of art galleries is well aware of this fact, utilizing all versions of publicity for their own purposes.
