Loan Toolkit

SPG Loan is an online catalogue of sculptures available for placement in shared and communal spaces. The artworks were originally created for exhibitions and events and are now waiting in storage for a second life. Since 2018, Sculpture Placement Group has facilitated around 70 placements in schools, businesses, community groups, and universities.

The Loan Toolkit below provides artists and organisations with everything they need to plan and arrange a placement. All resources are free to download and use. Please get in touch if you have a query about the project.
