In 1992, a group of 18 sculptor friends and colleagues came together to found Boston Sculptors Gallery. Addressing the scarcity of opportunities to showcase sculpture in New England, the group pooled their resources to advance a mission: that sculpture should be nurtured, celebrated and promoted locally. Boston Sculptors quickly established its reputation as area curators and critics, and the art-
going public, took notice. Just three years after its founding, BSG was named "Boston's best gallery" by Boston Magazine, and the following year the Boston Globe hailed it as "the most innovative gallery around". Nick Capasso, Director of the Fitchburg Art Museum and former Curator of the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, described Boston Sculptors as a "landmark" sculptors' cooperative. Boston Sculptors Gallery offers a second, significant distinction, eschewing the competitive model of commercial galleries in favor of a collaborative system of support and advancement. Boston Sculptors Gallery was founded and continues to operate with the belief that sharing resources and championing one another's creative efforts produce the most fertile ground in which artists can succeed. The Gallery continues to thrive and offer compelling, nationally recognized work based on this core belief.
