Public Awareness:
Rededications, School & Public Programs
Assessment, treatment and maintenance can offer excellent opportunities to involve your volunteers and sponsors, leaders in the public and private sectors, and the community at large in sharing their accomplishment of giving a lasting gift to their community and the nation. Press and television media are attracted by images of monuments before, during and upon completion of treatment, as well as by the broad base of community members involved in the project. Other opportunities are rededication celebrations and annual maintenance. SOS! Monumental Defender certificates are awarded to all unpaid participants in the process. Complete the simple registration forms to add your preserved public sculpture or monument to the SOS! Honor Roll and certificates will be sent.
School and Public programs raise the visibility for the sculpture and the state video consciousness of the public.
SOS! has print and video materials to help you consider alternative approaches to sculpture maintenance programs.
Preservation of outdoor sculpture and monuments includes three phases—assessment, treatment and maintenance; public awareness creates and reinforces positive public attitudes about outdoor sculpture, its role in their community and their role in its care.
