Dear sculpture lover,

Do you want to be part of our international team?

Sculpture Network is looking for new Board members! 

Sculpture Network was founded by the artist Hartmut Stielow, with the help of the businessman Ralf Kirberg. After 19 years, we have 800 members in 40 countries. Scupture Network is a non-profit organisation that connects artists, art professionals, collectors and lovers of sculpture in Europe and beyond. 

We promote your sculpture through our website and our Newsletter. And we organise live and online events, where people can meet, share ideas and contacts.
10 Coordinators organise Dialogues in their countries. People can participate in The Online Club,and recently, the European sculpture community gathered in Málaga for a wonderful International Forum. And we were honoured that the Henry Moore Foundation became a member this year.

Sculpture Network is a lively international organisation, based in Munich. Most of us work online, and sometimes we meet. This photo is taken in Amsterdam, where the Executive Board met with the Curatorial Board, our two Staff members, and our international team of Coordinators.
