Sculpture and the Urban Environment

The art of sculpture is ideal for emplacement in public spaces. It is the way that people can identify and acknowledge each other, that is why the sponsors are proud to contribute to the city of Guatemala with a sculpture stroll where we can appreciate the pieces from the I International Sculpture Festival.

This urban space is unique in Latin America of which we can be proud.  We are in the same level of other countries that promote a full development of art and cultural events.
