The world of public sculpture and monuments has many facets. People with interests varying from making and conserving, writing on and recording, commissioning and collecting art works - and those with interests in art, local, social or national history - make up the PMSA's membership.

Members receive regular Newsletters and Updates concerning the PMSA and the world of public art, with news of PMSA talks, conferences and projects. All members receive The Sculpture Journal twice a year as part of their subscription. (It is also possible, if membership of the PMSA is not appropriate, for Sculpture Journal readers to take up an annual Standing Order for the journal alone.)

To join the PMSA and receive the journal and newsletters or to subscribe only to the Journal, contact the Membership Secretary or the Journal Distributor - or email the PMSA's global address: jo.darke@courtauld.ac.uk.

The PMSA requires a form to be filled and posted to the Membership Secretary with an annual subscription, or - better - a Banker's Standing Order.

Subscriptions run from 1 January to 31 December

Rates:

Ordinary: £35 with Sculpture Journal; £25 without Sculpture Journal
Students, Retired or Unemployed: £25.50, or £17.50 omitting the Journal (proof of status required)
Corporate: £85
EU: Euro 55 with Journal; Euro 40 without Journal
US and outside EU: $75.

Volunteering

The PMSA is organised and operated almost entirely by volunteers including the General Committee and its Officers, the Event Organisers, the Newsletter and Journal Editors, the Marsh Award project, and the PMSA Case Officer. Members are encouraged to initiate events or projects suitable, where possible, for active support from the PMSA. The National Recording Project in particular offers volunteers the opportunity to assist on a unique project which surveys, photographs and records the location, form, history and condition of public monuments and sculptures - newly commissioned as well as historical. NRP volunteers, therefore, are offered site survey work, archival research or database entering from survey forms filled in by other volunteers.

Whether you work, or have worked, in the field - or are a collector, observer, commentator or enthusiast - there is a place for you in the PMSA. If you have a penchant for monuments and sculpture you are welcome to join and to participate in all aspects of the Association.
