YES — Final in-person and collective activity

As the YES – Young European Sculpture – Project (2022-1-FR01-KA220-HED-000087792), launched in 2022 and co-funded by Erasmus+, approaches its conclusion, the final in-person and collective activity is currently taking place at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara (ABAC), Italy, from May 12 to 16, 2025.

Building on the pedagogical and artistic outcomes of the three masterclasses (2023 in Tours; 2024 in Porto and in Kuldiga), this final exchange will culminate in the project’s concluding exhibition. In addition to this final exhibition, the programme includes guided visits to marble quarries and archaeological sites, sculpture workshops, small-format labs, lectures, round tables, and closing meetings.
