From goosebumps on our skin and tears in the eyes to an unexpected smile on our lips – art often manages to touch us in a very special way. This year we take a closer look at why this is the case and how artists work with this phenomenon. We dedicate 2025 to the theme "Sculpting Emotions".
What also sparks quite a lot of emotions is the fact that we are celebrating 20 years of Sculpture Network! Throughout the coming year, as part of this special anniversary, we will be publishing interviews with our coordinators as well as various anecdotes from our members.
We are looking forward to 20 more years with you!
