WASHINGTON SCULPTORS GROUP ISSUES STATEMENT ON CENSORSHIP
The Washington Sculptors Group (WSG) announces today that it is joining with other organizations that have expressed disapproval of censorship measures that continue to take place in connection with exhibitions of the works of art created by members of the art community in Washington DC and elsewhere. The incident at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery November 30 is a recent case in point.
WSG believes that the exhibition of works produced as a result of the professional endeavors of all persons working in creative fields, should not be subjected to control by individuals or groups who may not like the appearance or implications of certain ideas or products.
WSG supports the rights of individuals to create ideas and objects of their choosing and the right of museums, galleries and other exhibitors to present them to the public without being subjected to censorship or other forms of suppression.
About WSG
The Washington Sculptors Group (WSG) is a volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting awareness of sculpture and fostering exchanges among sculptors, sculpture enthusiasts and the public. Organized in 1984, membership has grown to include almost 400 area artists. The WSG sponsors frequent public programs and organizes professional sculpture exhibitions juried by prominent curators.
