The 5th International Stone Sculpture Symposium, organized jointly by Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University and Alanya Municipality, will begin on November 3rd and continue until December 3rd. Artists from TURKEY, ROMANIA, ITALY, CHINA, BELARUS, and GREECE will participate in the symposium and will work for one month in the "information festival" area located behind the Municipality building.
The Mayor of Alanya stated, "Our aim with this event is to promote our district both domestically and internationally through the artworks created. We expect the necessary interest and support from our citizens. Furthermore, as every year, a composition and painting competition on the theme of "city and art" will be organized. This competition, which will continue throughout the symposium, will be held among primary and secondary school students, and we encourage the participation of our young people."
