Festival of stone

Please! Can you help me to get in touch with somebody who can give me direct information about the Aswan sculpture symposium.

 

The Symposium was held for the first time on November 3, 1996 in Aswan. Fifteen Sculptors from 11 foreign countries participated in the two-month exhibition. When it was all over, the  government took possession of all the produced pieces to form the nucleus of the International Sculpture Museum in Aswan.

The Aswan Sculpture Symposium is now an annual event. Last year’s event, which ended in mid-March, was the seventh annual symposium.

If you are interested in participating, try contacting the Ministry of Culture in Cairo.

Here’s the number for the Ministry switchboard: 735-6469, 737-0359

Good luck, and happy sculpting.
