In 2007, ART on the SQUARE created Sculpture in the City. This program encourages groups, individuals, corporations and families to purchase sculpture from ART on the SQUARE artists and then donate these pieces to the city for placement in public places. After four years, Belleville’s landscape has been enhanced with fourteen pieces of sculpture. These sculptures are on view throughout the year and serve as a reminder of Belleville’s commitment to the arts. ART on the SQUARE is known as a national leader among art fairs and as Sculpture in the City grows, the look of Belleville is proudly reflecting this reputation.
A diverse group of patrons make up the list of sculpture donors. To date, this is the list of artists, sculptures and donors:
