 The
non profit organization Art Logos organizes every 2 years the International
Symposium on Marble Sculpture in the island of Thassos.
Its aim is to make the neat white crystalline marble of Thassos known,
through the carving of sculpture works which will remain in the carving
place forming sculpture parks. Many visitors can discover the Art surrounded
by the natural insular scenery and the formation of stone to sculpture which
comes from the earth.
The International Symposium on Marble Sculpture is organized every 2 years
by the president of the non profit organization Art Logos Emmy Varouxaki, a
woman of art who is inspired by her homeland, the knowledge of History and
the unceasing touch with the Art and the yearning for the well finished
work.
Mrs. Varouxaki is also running a marble sculpture workshop from 01/08/2006
to 10/09/2006 close to the small picturesque village of Skala Kalirahis,
which is located in the north-west part of the island of Thassos, only a few
km away from the famous Thassos marble quarries.
During the workshop, students will live great experience, as the workshop is
often an international mix that makes it very pleasant and dynamic. Students
will also be able to take advantage of the many outdoors activities that the
region offers such as swimming, hiking, and excursions.
The non profit organization Art Logos also organizes art exhibitions and
organizes lectures, seminaries, open discourses, conferences, music
concerts… and promotes and develops cultural events not only in Greece but
also abroad.
