Sculpture Village @ Round Rock Summer Arts Fest

Texas Society of Sculptors is creating a Sculpture Village at the Round Rock Summer Arts Fest.  There will be a demonstration area for sculptors to show their practice, processes and have the opportunity to explain their work with the attendees of the Fest.  A Live Studio will be created for participants to work on some of their projects and interact with other sculptors and show participants. A gallery for members to show and sell their work will also be part of the Sculpture Village 

The Round Rock Summer Arts Fest is a new signature downtown arts festival located in the heart of Downtown Round Rock. Round Rock Summer Arts Fest is hosted by City of Round Rock Arts and Culture and is a showcase for a large variety of fine art, fine crafts, and other exhibitors and provides patrons with the opportunity to meet and talk with the artists who create the work. It also includes artist demos and interactive arts experiences for all ages! 

The Round Rock Summer Arts Fest will be held:

• Friday, August 7, 2026: Noon – 9 p.m.
• Saturday, August 8, 2026: 9 a.m. – 9 p.m.
• Sunday, August 9, 2026: 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Texas Society of Sculptors will be presenting an independent Sculpture Village at the festival.  The Sculpture Village will have a Live Studio for members to interact with the Round Rock Arts Fest attendees and visit with each other and share ideas while working on new or existing projects,(changed order)  an area for members to Demonstrate their sculptural practice,  and a Sculpture Gallery for members to show and sell their work. 

The primary focus of the Sculpture Village will be on demonstrations of sculptural practices, tools and knowledge of multiple sculpture types and mediums, with the attendees of the festival. TSOS will pay a stipend of $100 for each demonstration.  Demonstrations will be for a minimum of 20 min up to 45 minutes and a requirement to work in the Live Studio for at least 1 hour after the demonstration to answer questions and interact with the public. Artists can sign up for multiple demonstrations and will be given a stipend for each. Demonstrations will begin an hour after the show opens and end an hour before closing.

The sculpture gallery is 10' x 20' tent with tables for the display and sale of jury selected members' sculptures.  Multiple pieces can be displayed depending on the space we have for the gallery.  Sculptures need to sit on stands (artist provided) or the tables since pedestals can be precarious.  Priority for display will be given to those who volunteer to help with the event, demonstrators and those who participate in the live studio.  Since there will be limited space in the gallery, it's a good idea to sign up to volunteer or do a demo!
