The Centre for Sculptors’ Creative Work has at its disposal six sculpting ateliers, 64 m² each, common studio (200 m²) and four specialist workshops. The ateliers are rented to individual artists or groups. They have been adapted for round-the-year use. Each atelier contains a bathroom, double lodge, with internet connection. The specialist studios and workshops perform all kinds of craft services requested by artists. Our qualified staff are able to deal with any technological order, auxiliary to the sculpting art. On the premises you can also rent a variety of specialist equipment and tools.

The Symposium of Contemporary Sculpture is an international project inaugurated at the Centre in 2020. Each edition will be devoted to selected sites and local contexts. The participants – artists and students of art academies – will be chosen in an open-call mode. In the first edition, the agenda of the event involved practical workshops, exhibitions, lectures and discussion pertaining to urgent challenges of contemporary culture and the ways sculptors confront them. The project entails inviting specialists from various fields – artists, architects, urban developers, art critics and art historians, philosophers, anthropologists, lecturers and activists – to give lectures. It also assumes extending collaboration with representatives of self-governments responsible for the organization and planning of the public space.

International Platform for Academic Cooperation (MPWA) is an interdisciplinary project implemented by the Centre since 2015. MPWA is a vital point in the European dialogue between artistic academies. It aims at an exchange of artistic and educational ideas as well as integration of Polish and foreign academic circles. The initiative encompasses the following activities: practical workshops, lectures, meetings with theoreticians of art and outstanding artists, an exhibition and academic publication summarizing the event. So far the project has been attended by Polish art academies from Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk, Wrocław, Lodz, Poznan, Toruń and foreign academies: University of Ostrava, The Hungarian University of Fine Arts in Budapest and Art Academy of Latvia from Riga.

The Centre for Sculptors’ Creative Work provides possibilities of stay and work for organized groups of sculptors. It is an ideal place for education and work of art students, artistic associations and all artistic formal and informal groups. The staff and assistance of specialist technological studios will allow for realization of complex projects. The participants of outdoor workshops can use comfortable accommodation: the Sculptor’s House offers accommodation for 24 people in single, double, triple and 4-people rooms. The canteen can provide full board, while Café Art and Sculptor’s Club allow for artists’ daily meetings and exchange of experiences.
