Mission Statement

 

The Hollywood Sculpture Garden – Greece is a joint venture between The Hollywood Sculpture Garden (Los Angeles), and a group of sculptors and artists located in Greece, with aims of further EU countries joining the project in the near future. Our aim is to strengthen cross-continental bonds through the sharing of our mutual love for art and culture, and to give sculptors across the world the opportunity to display their art in various participating countries.

 

Goal 1:

To create a Greek exhibition in The Hollywood Sculpture Garden (Los Angeles), displaying the work of our collaborating artists in Greece.

​

Goal 2:

To establish a Hollywood Sculpture Garden – Greece. For this, we need to scout an appropriate place/venue that can accommodate a broad display of sculptures in Greece, with the aim of also accommodating artist residencies. The residencies offered will be full live-in residencies, with materials to be supplied via funding from the EU.

​

Goal 3:

To garner further interest and involve more sculptors from Hollywood, Greece, and other EU countries.

​

Goal 4:

To establish additional Hollywood Sculpture Gardens around Europe, with France already lined up to be our next participating country.
