Pangaea Sculptors' Centre

A platform supporting contemporary sculptors and fostering technical excellence.

Pangaea Sculptors’ Centre is a Community Interest Company that was founded in 2013. The organisation supports contemporary sculptors and aims to remove barriers of entry into the profession. We promote and enrich wider public engagement with sculpture through educational, critical and cultural programming.

Central to our ethos is that artists should be able to further their practicewithout the constraint caused by a lack of access to equipment, facilities and expertise. Pangaea is committed to providing essential opportunities, practical support and facilities for practitioners to enable the development of their practice.

Pangaea supports artists and arts organisations alike, meeting the diverse needs of both domestic and overseas practitioners and other sculpture enthusiasts, including curators, collectors and commissioners.

Collaboration is integral to our culture and Pangaea has a reputation for being both rigorous and innovative, combining grassroots activism with commercial activity to support its not-for-profit ambitions. Our network of individuals and organisations share our commitment to making cultural production more sustainable, accessible, diverse and engaged.

Art Consultancy

PSC values the potential of sculpture and other three-dimensional art practice to create environments that support diverse activities. These include business, health care, education and other organisational and institutional forms as well as a rich domestic life. Our approach to art consultancy springs from a commitment to enabling sculptural practice that is distinguished by its conceptual qualities and craftsmanship. We take pride in securing, producing, curating, installing and maintaining artworks in the public as well as private spheres. Many of these objects, images and installations are sourced from our extensive networks of artists, with our consultancy supporting advancement by not only developing an audience for their practice, but enabling access to fabrication and also employment. Any profit made through commissions is then funnelled back into the organisation’s initiatives at a grassroots level.

Drawing on our experienced team working within the fields of curation, production, research, technical services and fabrication, clients can access our bespoke services for their commission, ensuring the artworks meet their specific needs and scope of requirements, from a new collector seeking to diversify their growing collection to a large-scale commission of public art. Our personal touch ensures an experience that prioritises customer service.

We would be pleased to discuss your specific consultancy needs. Kindly email the details to consultancy@pangaeasculptorscentre.com. Please provide as much information as possible.
