Things to consider when commissioning a sculpture:
Bronze is arguably the most celebrated art medium in history, and it endures through the ages. The oldest bronze sculpture dates all the way back to 2500 BCE, and was created using the Lost Wax method of casting, which we still use today.    

Commissioning a sculpture in bronze is a wonderful option because it requires minimal maintenance, is extremely durable and is easily cleaned in the event of tagging or vandalism. Sculptures can be patinaed or painted, depending on the project, and are generally weather-resistant. When a sculpture is installed, it becomes permanently set, and the techniques we use for art installation prevents theft of any kind.

A sculpture is a beautiful addition to any venue, and immediately provides a gathering place that unifies public areas, encourages togetherness and builds community.
