Award Honorees
Each year, the National Sculpture Society recognizes outstanding achievement in the field of sculpture through a series of prestigious awards and grants. The 2025 honorees represent a dynamic and diverse group of artists whose contributions continue to shape the narrative of contemporary figurative sculpture.

Among those recognized were Jules Arthur (Augusta Savage Grant), Diane Collins (Marilyn Newmark Memorial Grant), Entang Wiharso (Stanley Bleifeld Memorial Grant), and Erik Ebeling (Alex J. Ettl Grant).

Additional awards included the Sculpture House Annual Award presented to Chad and Denise Fisher, the Sisko Memorial Medal awarded to Rod Zullo, and the Herbert Adams Memorial Award received by Sabin Howard.

The celebration culminated with the presentation of the NSS Medal of Honor to Simon Kogan, honoring a career marked by artistic excellence and lasting impact.
