Bradley Arthur began his career as a sculptor in 1970 at the age of 17, serving as an apprentice to metal sculptor Hugh Dumont at the Coconut Grove School of Art. Even in these formative years, Arthur’s work reflected what would become a lifelong fascination: the use of found objects and existing materials as a primary medium.

By transforming and recontextualizing "societal stuff"—whether material objects, information, language, or cyberspace—Arthur finds unending resources to observe and respond to the present. His work challenges the viewer to look at the discarded and the everyday through a new lens, creating relevant pieces that capture this unique moment in time.

With a career spanning over five decades, Arthur’s award-winning work has been featured in more than a dozen solo exhibitions and 150 group shows. His exhibition history includes prestigious venues such as the Grand Palais in Paris, and New York City landmarks like Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, Phillips de Pury & Company, and Ronald Feldman Fine Arts.

Arthur’s sculptures are held in prominent private and public collections. His early large-scale works are listed in the Smithsonian Institution’s inventory of American Painting and Sculpture, His text-based sculptures are in the permenant collection of the Museum of Fine Arts at Florida State University while several of his text-based pieces were acquired by the renowned collector Richard Brown Baker and are now part of the permanent collection of the Yale University Art Gallery.
He is a featured sculptor in the recently published art book on the history of sculpture in Florida,

As trust in political leadership diminishes and oligarchy-controlled media increasingly marginalize working-class voices, artist Bradley Arthur offers a radical reconnection: through his direct-to-voter issues-based series, CivicTools.com. Arthur’s text-based works transform digital domains into civic lifelines, utilizing his deep bond with everyday people to awaken “WeThePeople” and defend democracy. With much of the media empire cowed by Trump’s threats and traditional campaign outreach trapped in consultant echo chambers, Arthur’s simple call to action clarion crys bypasses the gatekeepers—delivering voter activation tools straight to the people, where they’re needed most.

The Civic Tools portfolio is curated for broadcast to educate voters and build long-term digital brands that inform, motivate, and engage citizens to respect, protect, and defend the Constitution — and the planet — by exercising their responsibility to vote.
