Vanaf 28 september 2009 is de Nederlandse Kring van Beeldhouwers als organisatie aangesloten bij Sculpture Network. De Kring is een grote landelijke vereniging van ruimtelijk werkende beeldend kunstenaars en daarom ziet het bestuur dit collectieve lidmaatschap als een volgende belangrijke stap naar verdere internationalisering.
