DETAILS
2019 Sculpture at the River Market Fine Art Sculpture Show & Sale will be the 11th annual event. Each year the attendance has increased, as have the artist’s sales. Every artist at the Sculpture at the River Market Fine Art Show & Sale will exhibit their work in a magnificent outdoor setting (but protected under permanent pavilions) overlooking the Arkansas River and First Security Amphitheater in Little Rock’s Riverfront Park. The venue boasts indoor restroom facilities and a hospitality room specifically for artists and their representatives. The Clinton Presidential Library is located just east of the River Market and brings tens of thousands of visitors to Little Rock each year. Sculpture at the River Market, through generous donations of its patrons, has placed over 85 large public art sculptures along the Riverfront Park. The Vogel Schwartz Sculpture Garden, an intimate and beautiful garden is also located in Riverfront Park. This most unique Sculpture Garden showcases award-winning pieces. 
 
The Preview Party, a private ticketed event, will kick off the weekend show on Friday night. Last year, over 500 sculpture enthusiasts enjoyed libations, dinner, and entertainment while viewing and purchasing sculpture.
