The Sculptors Guild, a non-profit organization of professional artists, was founded in 1937 by William Zorach to promote sculpture as an art form and provide free exhibition venues to its members. In addition to numerous shows in New York City, the Guild has organized exhibitions at colleges and galleries in Pittsburgh; Philadelphia; San Francisco; Santa Fe; Washington, D.C.; and many other cities in the United States. The Guild also keeps an extensive registry of slides and biographical materials on the members. These files are available to curators, collectors, architects, and others interested in learning more about the work of the artists. Membership in The Sculptors Guild is based on creative ability, and professional standing, and is offered by invitation only. Applications are reviewed annually and there is no residency requirement. Presently, the Guilds office and exhibition space are located in New York City at The Soho Building, 110 Greene Street.
