International Sculpture Symposium - SANCY.WHITE ART

The Nomand'art association and the animation directorate of Mont-Dore organize an international sculpture symposium, which will take place on the Mont Dore in the Sancy massif, in Auvergne, during the festival SANCY.WHITE ART, from 7 to 12 February 2019.

The event will be improvisation: artists will be required to come without a specific project, only their experience as a sculptor and artist inspiration will be worth it. The rules of improvisation (subject, block size and more) will be communicated to the opening night. The event should be considered as a challenge based on the spirit of mutual aid and cooperation, not as a competition.

Selection

  • Number of participants per team: Each team can have a maximum of two participants.
  • Block size, improvisation rule: The size of the blocks and the rules of improvisation will be announced during the opening night

  • Expenses covered by the SANCY Festival. WHITE ART: The festival is able to provide financial assistance to pay for transport costs. The amount will be communicated later. We also offer you a hotel room per team for a maximum of five nights at the Puy Ferrand hotel. Meals will also be provided. The Sancy. WHITE ART will not pay the personal expenses of the participants. Guests must leave a copy of the credit card upon check-in at the hotel.
