About the Program

Sculptures Angola is a public sculpture program through the City of Angola, Indiana’s Mayor’s Arts Council. The fall installation will lease four (4) sculptures to be installed on the Public Square of Angola’s Historic Downtown District located at the crossroad of US Highway 20, the longest highway in the U.S., and S Old US Highway 27, also known as Indiana State Highway 127.

Sculptures Angola is a sculpture lease program with ownership of the sculptures remaining with the artist. An honorarium of $1,250.00 for the summer installation and $800.00 for the fall installation is offered for each of the sculpture leases. Sculptures will be leased for approximately one year from the date of installation.
