The Viselaya Foundation

Viselaya (pronounced 'viz-ah-LAH-ya') is an independent private foundation in Carlisle, Massachusetts which sponsors a competition for figurative sculpture. The competition is open to all living artists without regard to age, training, or nationality. Winning sculptures are exhibited in a private garden in Carlisle (near Boston), alongside an exhibit of master works by deceased artists of the past century.
