International Sculpture Center, Inc.

The International Sculpture Center (ISC) is a member-supported, nonprofit organization founded in 1960 to champion the creation and understanding of sculpture and its unique, vital contribution to society. Members include sculptors, collectors, patrons, architects, developers, journalists, curators, historians, critics, educators, foundries, galleries, and museums—anyone with an interest in and commitment to the field of sculpture.

In 1960, sculptor and educator Elden Tefft organized the National Sculpture Conference at the University of Kansas, in Lawrence, Kansas, and with that conference, the International Sculpture Center was born.

Since then, the ISC has continued to evolve and adapt to the changing needs of its members as technologies move forward, beginning with the 1997 launch of www.sculpture.org. In 2019, they created and launched a new independent publication website for Sculpture magazine.

Today, after 60 years of service to the field, the ISC's progressive programs, conferences, symposia, and publications serve a growing international membership and educate the profession and the public about contemporary sculpture.
