As construction activities continue to progress and dust levels decrease, the public in Kaunas will gain access to observe the creative process of sculptors in real time. Visitors are welcome to explore the dedicated creative area associated with the International Sculpture Symposium on working days up until September 11th. A specific viewing schedule has been established for those wishing to observe the craft firsthand.
Starting September 2nd, the creative area will be open to the public from Monday through Friday, between 16:00 and 18:00. This dedicated time slot allows attendees to view the detailed formation of large-scale sculpture works, which are being carved directly from massive granite blocks. This opportunity provides visitors with an unparalleled look into the rigorous process of stone artistry.
Typically, the intensive labor—from the initial stone cuts to the emergence of a defined shape—remains hidden from public view within galleries or finished installations. The International Symposium offers a unique chance to understand the technical skill and material processing required to transform raw granite into finished art. For residents and visitors interested in the arts and craftsmanship, this direct access to the artists’ workshops represents a significant educational component of the international event.
Beyond the visual arts, Kaunas has also seen recent developments in its educational infrastructure, marked by the opening of the large “Vėjukai” kindergarten and the revitalization of the “Medeina” facility.
