Sculpture Placement Group

We’re Sculpture Placement Group (SPG), our mission is to innovate, support artists, and ensure that art is a vital part of everyday life. Through pioneering initiatives and creating useful tools, we’re breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for artists while supporting the wider arts sector to address the urgent challenges of the Climate Emergency.

At SPG, accessibility is paramount. We believe that art should be for everyone, which is why we strive to make our projects and tools barrier-free and easily understandable. Our commitment to accessibility extends to ensuring that all our resources are available free of charge, ensuring that anyone can engage with the arts regardless of their background or circumstances.

SPG Loan is an online catalogue featuring sculptures available for placement in shared and communal spaces. The artworks were originally created for exhibitions and events and are now waiting in storage for a second life. Since 2018, Sculpture Placement Group has facilitated around 70 placements in schools, businesses, community groups, and universities.

The Loan Toolkit provides artists and organisations with everything they need to plan and arrange a placement. All resources are free to download and use.
