Get matched →Sculptures on the Square is Downtown Troy's biennial outdoor public art exhibition celebrating creativity, community, and the power of public spaces. The exhibition transforms sidewalks, plazas, and gathering places into an accessible outdoor gallery enjoyed by thousands of residents and visitors each year.
Downtown Troy is investing in its future through street rebuilding, infrastructure strengthening, and public space reimagining. The exhibition celebrates this journey, exploring the intersection of building and belonging, preservation and progress, history and innovation. Artists are invited to consider the physical act of construction and the many ways communities are built through collaboration, craftsmanship, resilience, stewardship, and imagination.
Artists are encouraged, though not required, to incorporate materials traditionally associated with construction or infrastructure: steel, iron, aluminum, reclaimed wood, concrete, brick, stone, glass, cable, wire, rebar, fasteners and hardware, architectural salvage, industrial components, and repurposed construction materials. Traditional sculptural media are equally welcome when they thoughtfully interpret the exhibition theme.
Selected sculptures should reflect the spirit of Constructing Art, be visually engaging within a public downtown environment, be durable for outdoor display throughout the exhibition period, encourage visitors to explore Downtown Troy, and inspire dialogue about community, creativity, and transformation.
