Public Monuments and Sculpture Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Public Monuments and Sculpture Association, or PMSA, was established in 1991 to bring together individuals and organisations with an interest in public sculptures and monuments, their production, preservation and history.

The primary aim of the PMSA is to heighten public awareness of Britain's monumental heritage - past, present and future - through activities, publications and dialogue. It campaigns for the listing, preservation, protection and restoration of public monuments and sculpture, covering a period from the Stuart monarchy to the present day. As well as campaigning for historic monuments and public sculpture, the PMSA has been active in promoting the commissioning of new public monuments and sculpture.

The previous Chairperson of the PMSA was Benedict Read, and the current chairperson is Loyd Grossman. The PMSA is the publisher of the eminent academic publication the Sculpture Journal.
