Adam Schultz has been working as a sculptor in northern Colorado for over twenty-five years. He is an elected member of the National Sculpture Society — the oldest and one of the most prestigious sculpture organizations in the United States — and his work in cast bronze and stainless steel has been commissioned for public, corporate, and private collections across the country.
His monumental commissions include work at Arlington National Cemetery and a memorial for the Parker Police Department near Denver. The shared logic across the public projects is direct: a sculpture in a civic space is an argument about what the community is willing to make permanent. Schultz works in collaboration with city officials and design teams to make sure the argument is the right one for the place.
His current body of work is the Goddess Series — figurative nudes in bronze, abundant in body and bearing, finished in patinas that are unique to each cast. The figures are self-possessed rather than displayed. Schultz's interest is in feminine power as it actually exists, observed from the perspective of the woman herself.
With his wife Lorri Acott, Schultz co-founded Dream Big Sculpture — a company that has been creating and installing site-specific monumental sculpture for over twenty-five years. The two artists share a studio in the Colorado mountains. The Dream Big practice is the foundation from which Gives™ was conceived: a quarter-century of placing art where it does the most good, formalized into a program any collector can use.
Adam co-originated the charitable framework that became Gives™ with his wife and creative partner Lorri Acott. Twenty-five years of placing monumental public sculpture in cemeteries, parks, hospitals, and civic spaces gave the program its founding logic: the work belongs where it does the most good.
