Knoxville Area Sculpture Grant Opportunities
SoKno Sculpt, a nonprofit public art organization founded by the Old Sevier Community Group (OSCG), works with South Knoxville residents and businesses to develop public art projects and pursue grant funding for permanent sculpture installations in the Old Sevier District.
Funding for sculpture installations is pursued through public and private funding opportunities as they become available. SoKno Sculpt works with applicants to develop eligible projects and seek support from community partners, donors, grant-making organizations, and other funding sources.
