The Sculpture Tucson Festival Show & Sale is Arizona's largest celebration of sculpture, bringing together artists, collectors, and the public in a vibrant three-day event, March 27–29, 2026, at Brandi Fenton Memorial Park in Tucson, Arizona. Now entering its 7th year, the Festival has become a signature cultural destination, drawing thousands of visitors from across the Southwest and beyond. The Festival begins with a Friday night PREVIEW PARTY, a ticketed event for past patrons and sculpture lovers with live music, excellent food and beverages, and the opportunity to meet participating artists. There is no charge for accepted artists and their guest to attend this celebration.

The Festival provides a unique opportunity for sculptors to present and sell their work in an outdoor setting that encourages discovery and engagement. Artists may exhibit in individual tent spaces as well as submit large-scale works for display in common areas, showcasing a wide range of materials, scales, and styles.

A maximum of 15 works may be displayed during the Festival at one time and may be replaced if a piece is sold.

Open to professional and emerging sculptors in all media, only three-dimensional works will be considered. All submitted work must be original, created by the applying artist, and completed within the past five years. Applications require five professional images of existing sculpture, an artist statement of 100 words written in third person, and an artist bio up to 3,000 characters.
