Sculpture

in Franklin

Our 2026 Sculpture in Franklin
call for entry is closed.
|Stay tuned for updates

For the second year, ACFC has placed a call for entry for NC based sculptors to display their work across
Franklin County as part of a beautification initiative intended to provoke thought about how the
Arts can benefit public spaces and just make things cool.

We were happy to receive so much interest from the NC sculptor community and from the towns of Bunn, Youngsville, Franklinton and Louisburg College. Through their partnership and commitment to improving public spaces and benefitting the public, ACFC was able to connect NC based sculptors and Franklin County!
