London Sculpture Week
Returning for its third edition, London Sculpture Week celebrates the capital’s vibrant creative spirit by transforming public spaces with striking outdoor sculptures. Running from 21 to 29 September, the event unites four major cultural initiatives – Frieze Sculpture, the Fourth Plinth, Sculpture in the City, and The Line – to invigorate the city’s public spaces and highlight the transformative power of public art in the city.
The week’s programme will feature accessible public art tours, family-friendly workshops, and live artist performances, showcasing how art can inspire thought and enrich the city’s environment. London Sculpture Week remains a testament to the value of public art in daily life, fostering connections between people and their surroundings, and deepening appreciation for art’s role in the public sphere, reflecting London’s rich cultural landscape.
To coincide with London Sculpture Week, Sculpture in the City is offering a diverse programme of events. If you’re a local worker, a family with young ones, student or cultural seeker, there’s something for everyone.
Join us as we transform the Eastern City through art and activations from the ground and up into the sky.
