The 39th Annual Tri-State Sculpture Conference will be held on October 19-22, 2017 on the campus of Converse College. This conference is designed to meet the needs and interests of sculptors and educators working in a variety of 3-D media, including metal, clay, glass, fibers, stone and mixed media. It will be a valuable educational experience that includes not only technical information, but marketing and business information as well. The conference format will consist of one day of gallery visits, and two days of technical and educational presentations, demos, workshops and round table discussions. Additionally we will host two keynote speakers, multiple exhibitions, and evening events.

The conference will be hosted by Converse College and The Spartanburg Art Museum, with support from the Spartanburg Chamber of Commerce, and the Department of Visual Arts at Greenville Technical College, USC Upstate and the Women’s Caucus for the Arts of Georgia.

This program is funded in part by Chapman Cultural Center, its donors, the County and City of Spartanburg and the South Carolina Arts Commission which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the John and Susan Bennett Memorial Arts Fund of the Coastal Community Foundation of SC.
