Sculpture Placement Group

Sculpture Placement Group support artists, and ensure that art is a vital part of everyday life. Through pioneering initiatives and useful tools, we break down barriers, create opportunities for artists, and support the wider arts sector to address the urgent challenges of the Climate Emergency.

We worked with Creative Scotland on a new report, Towards a Sustainable and Ethical Scotland + Venice, exploring how Scotland’s participation in the Venice Biennale can align with net zero goals and ethical practices. The report sets out practical recommendations and alternative models for more sustainable international cultural exchange.

CAN is a platform dedicated to fostering sustainability and creative exchange within the arts. It connects artists, makers, and organisations to share resources, skills, and materials, supporting a circular economy in the creative sector.

SPG Loan places sculptural works into public and non-traditional spaces, offering long-term loans to organisations, community groups, and educational settings. The programme supports the visibility of contemporary sculpture while rethinking models of access, display, and care.

The SPG Loan Toolkit is a free resource to help artists and organisations place sculptures from our online catalogue into shared and communal spaces. Since 2018, we’ve facilitated over 70 placements in schools, businesses, community groups and universities. The toolkit offers all the guidance you need to plan and arrange a placement—download, use, and share freely.

ARMS is a company which includes representatives from across the creative industries, with a collective goal to create new ways for the cultural sector in Scotland to share resources, materials and equipment.

Developed by Sculpture Placement Group, Team Sculpture is a participatory programme bringing sculpture into schools and community settings. Through artist-led workshops, visits, and collaborative decision-making, participants explore contemporary art while developing confidence, skills, and creative connection.

SPG Club brings together a community of artists, collectors and supporters through small-scale commissioned works made for domestic spaces. Focused on affordability and sustainability, the works often use experimental or waste materials—like sheep fleece or milk ceramics—and are shared alongside interviews, studio visits, and behind-the-scenes insight.
