sculpture network New Year's Brunch 2011: More than 800 participants in 24 locations in 9 countries!

Across Europe (and in New Zealand), friends of sculpture celebrated the new year and raised a glass to sculpture.

Artists, art lovers and gallerists had a lively conversation about art, their creative process, their perception and of course on emerging trends. Projects were proposed and plans were made. Catalogs and art enriched the exchange.

Not only members attended, but also many curious visitors. This led to many new encounters, even friendships.

You could be a part of it next year, on the third Sunday in January (01/15/2012)!

nyb´11 review

The participants spoke to each other not only on site together, but also over the Internet across Europe -- and could see themselves doing it.
That was a big challenge for all hosts, but has created a strong team spirit.
We have brought the idea of a living network a great deal closer. The nyb'11 review was a real innovation with many new opportunities.

We want to thank vivicom for their confernce system.
