IS! Is a unique project which takes the city of Washington, DC as its grounds for sculpture placement. The DC commission on the Arts and area businesses are joining with the IS! Staff and curators and artists to place work at prominent locations. The Washington Convention center, the National Public Radio Building, the Renaissance Hotel and the arena Stage are the first buisnesses to host large scale outdoor works by prominent regional and national sculptors. The first show is a 10-piece exhibition curated by Sarah Tanguy on the theme of "Portals." The DC Chamber of Commerce is producing a map which will guide sculpture enthusiasts to the pieces and conveniently past the National Gallery’s new sculpture garden and Hirshorn Museum’s, as well. Works are on loan for one year. The project is an ongoing effort with the goals of placing dozens of sculptures around Washington.

Participating sculptors include: John Van Alstine, David Hess, Rodney Carroll, Chris Gardener, Jon Isherwood, Betsy Damos, Roberley Bell, Foon Sham, Brent Crothers, and Emile Brzezinski.
