About The PUBLIC SCULPTURE PROGRAM
Our Public Sculpture Program coordinates the selection and display of public sculpture with cities, organizations, and businesses in publicly-accessible locations throughout the Quad Cities.
The sculptures are leased and on public display for a one-year period at which point they may be purchased for permanent installation or be replaced with new sculpture. In 2020, we coordinated the installation of twelve sculptures in partnership with the City of Rock Island, Rock Island Parks & Recreation, City of Bettendorf, Bettendorf Library Foundation and Ascentra Credit Union, showing their commitment to the cultural and artistic vitality of our community.
All of the leased sculptures are on view and for sale to anyone with interest in owning them, and if purchased, could be moved after June of 2022.
