Welcome to the 2009 Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium
August 1 through September 12, 2009
Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium is a biennial cultural event that brings together artists, visitors, and communities to create a Public Sculpture Collection in eastern Maine. This gathering of sculptors is a fun and educational way to see how large-scale sculpture is made from granite, one of Maine's natural resources.

Each symposia last 6-weeks, from late July to early September. Visitors can watch the sculptures in progress. Artists from around the world are selected through a juried process to participate. The sculptures are then placed at public sites in Maine communities. Symposia are scheduled to occur in 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015. The symposium is FREE and open to the public.
