Anyone from our UK contingent attending? It's been a few years since we've had the benefit of first-hand reports from the last set of conferences.

When was the last time the ISC held a conference outside of the Continental US?

[Val Friedman]

That is a great question! Our last event held internationally was back in 1983. It was our International Symposium: Sculpture Collections in the Open Air, and it was helped in Yorkshire, UK.

For our 22nd International Sculpture Conference, we actually have more than half of the current attendees coming from outside of the United States, and about 30% of the attendees coming from the United Kingdom and Ireland!
