What Publications and News Resources Does the International Sculpture Center Provide?
Updated
The International Sculpture Center (ISC) maintains four publication and news channels: Sculpture Magazine, ISC Updates, ISC Books, and a Press Room. All four appear in the site's main navigation under "News & Publications," so you can reach them directly from the homepage menu. If you want sculpture criticism and artist profiles, start with the magazine; if you want organizational news and announcements, ISC Updates and the Press Room are the relevant sections.
The four channels at a glance
| Resource | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sculpture Magazine | The ISC's magazine publication | In-depth reading on sculpture and artists |
| ISC Updates | News updates from the organization | Staying current on ISC news |
| ISC Books | Book publications under the ISC imprint | Longer-form published material |
| Press Room | Press and media information | Media inquiries and official announcements |
How to find them on the site
- Go to sculpture.org.
- Open the main navigation menu.
- Locate the "News & Publications" section.
- Select the item you want: Sculpture Magazine, ISC Updates, ISC Books, or ISC Press Room.
The expected result is a dedicated page for that channel. Note that the site navigation also includes a "Sign In" link and a "Join" link, which indicates some content or member functions may sit behind an account — the available evidence does not specify which pages require login, so check the page itself before assuming open access.
What the ISC is, in one line
The ISC is a member-supported, nonprofit arts organization founded in 1960. Its stated vision is to advance the creation and understanding of sculpture and its contribution to society, and its mission includes expanding public understanding of sculpture internationally and engaging artists and arts professionals in dialogue. The publications above are the channels through which that mission reaches readers.
Choosing between them
- For editorial content about sculpture as a field, use Sculpture Magazine.
- For time-sensitive organizational news, use ISC Updates.
- For published books, use ISC Books.
- For official statements aimed at media, use the Press Room.
If your goal is simply to follow sculpture news generally, ISC Updates plus the magazine cover the two different rhythms: announcements versus feature writing.
