The art of marble or bronze sculpting is still around, although much rarer than it used to be. It's a trade like any other, requiring years of study to achieve a high level of competence (notwithstanding the trend of throwing a bunch of random metal pieces together and calling it art - true art requires creativity and skill; one or the other does not suffice).
Many university art programs have a sculpture department. Student and faculty artists will make works on commission, although it's hard to find good figurative art among the sea of abstract political B.S. If you're really serious, Italy is the place for the best artisans, as it has been since the Renaissance[1].
There are still some old-school sculptors around [2] in America who take the craft seriously.
