Symposium 2012

Stones on site for 2012 Symposium. 14.12.2011

      A SYMPOSIUM EVERY SECOND SUMMER-
The biennial Te Kupenga International Stone Sculpture Symposium brings together international, national and local sculptors for 3 weeks of carving the local Andesite boulders. The sculptors can be seen daily on the New Plymouth foreshore in Taranaki, New Zealand. Also view the photo gallery 2012 for daily updates or works in progress.
The eighth Symposium will be held from 27th December 2011 - 13th January 2012 followed by a public exhibition of the completed works. A public auction of works in the exhibition will be held on site on 21st January 2012. Places for the 5 international, 10 national and 10 local Taranaki artists are contestable, ensuring creative and professional sculpture of high quality is demonstrated.
The sculpture symposium can be viewed from New Plymouth's coastal walkway and is a major attraction for visitors and locals alike. The Te Kupenga Stone Sculpture Society is most appreciative of this public support and thanks the sponsors for assisting to showcase an international event of this calibre.
