Sculpture artists from across the nation submitted entries to participate in the third annual National Outdoor Sculpture Competition and Exhibition. This eleven month exhibition features artists from across the nation displaying imaginative and thought provoking large-scale sculpture.  The judged exhibition features up to fifteen sculptures from established and emerging artists selected for honorariums and awards. Sculpture sites are located throughout the stunning, picturesque Riverfront Park, set on the banks of the gorgeous Cooper River. Visitors can enjoy the sculptures displays among ten acres of walking paths, lawns, fountains, and boardwalks.  The exhibition is open to the public from April 2008 – March 2009.  Organized and presented by the City of North Charleston Cultural Arts Department.
