Public art projects are a specialty of The
Large Art Company. Our artists are some of the finest
sculptors of our time. Click on the image above to
see more examples of past public art projects.
As you can see in the photographs here and
in our other custom sculpture sections, we can handle even the most challenging
situations. The detail and the quality just pour from these sculptures.
The Large Art Company is a fine art gallery in
Baltimore, Maryland that specializes in bronze sculpture and statuary. We
work with individuals, corporations, government agencies, schools, universities
and organizations all of types for our open edition pieces and custom bronze
sculptures. We are a registered US government contractor and we are happy
to bid on your projects.
Public art projects are not cheap. A
commission can run anywhere from $25,000 to several hundred thousand dollars
depending on the size and complexity. That said, where would we be if no
one invested in public art? Public art can literally transform
neighborhoods, revitalize business districts and increase property values.
More importantly they tell a story of our time, our place. All the public
art together tells the history of mankind. Artistic expression, people,
and events are all worthy of public art displays.
We understand that a public art commission is
not the solution for many budgets. That is why we offer more general
sculptures as open editions for a fraction of the cost. They may not be
exactly what you are looking for, but you can always add a plaque to send the
message or sentiment you wish to convey. Please feel free to browse the
categories to the right for a suitable sculpture. Also, if you don't find
what you need please call. We have access to many more statues than we
carry on our web site.

The Process
When you hire us to do your
public art project
we make it easy. We
usually begin with a design
project that can run between
$500 and $2,000 (can go
higher for very complex
projects). You may
have ideas or you may want
us to create a concept from
your description.
Either way we develop
sketches and drawings of the
final project and associated
cost.
Once we are in agreement,
the project can commence.
We
require 25% to start, 50%
upon approval of the clay
sculpture and the final 25%
upon delivery. We will
send you frequent
photographs of our progress
for your approval.
When the clay sculpture is
completed we will again send
you digital images for your
approval. If you would
like to visit you are more
than welcomed to do so.
Upon approval we will begin
the molding and casting
process.
We can provide installation
service for an additional
fee, but we are also happy
to coordinate installation
with a local company of your
choosing included in the
price of the completed
sculpture.
Ordering
If you are interested in
more details about a public
art project, please call us to talk
more specifically about your
project. With a little
information we can give you
a ballpark estimate for your
project. If
budget is an issue you might
like to consider a more general
sculpture that captures the
sentiment and meaning of the
project and use a bronze
plaque to tell the story.
Public Art is our specialty.
There is no guesswork that
we will deliver. We
have done these many times
before. The quality is
superb and the compliments
will last for decades.
