Sculpture in the Close

Jesus College has hosted a series of contemporary sculpture exhibitions since 1988.

Its historic courts and well tended lawns provide a striking and contrasting backdrop to works by some of the most exciting and important sculptors working today. Our exhibitions are recognized as cutting edge: always thought-provoking and frequently spectacular. 

The 2017 Sculpture in the Close exhibition will run from 26 June to 17 September 2017 and will be open to the public from10am to 6pm daily. With an all-female line-up of exceptional artists, the exhibition marks the fifteenth outdoor sculpture exhibition in the grounds of Jesus College. The College also has an impressive permanent collection.
