Adelaide Hills International Sculpture Symposium Inc

Adelaide Hills International Sculpture Symposium Inc 21-day event held at The Cedars in Hahndorf. They will be briefed to respond to the natural and built environments of the sites. Visitors will be amazed.

Internationally acclaimed sculptor and resident of the Adelaide Hills Silvio Apponyi has a vision to ‘Enrich the Hills with Sculpture’. This exciting new arts and tourism initiative will bring together eight leading professional sculptors from Australia and overseas to work in this beautiful and richly diverse region. The sculptors will work for 21 days at The Cedars and each will create a signifi

cant work for permanent installation in selected public sites in the Hills. Visitors to the Cedars during the Symposium will have a unique opportunity to see these artists at work as the pieces take shape over the 21 days. The final sculptures will be a lasting legacy that reflect the time and place in which they are conceived and created. They will provide an enriching cultural experience for the communities of the Adelaide Hills and South Australia and for tourists to the region. Expressions of interest in commissioning a sculpture are being sought and community engagement and involvement is being encouraged to give local communities ownership of ‘their’ sculptures. The Adelaide Hills Council and District Council of Mount Barker have enthusiastically supported the initiative and given seed funding. Partnerships and sponsorship opportunities are available and can be tailored to specific needs and private donations from arts lovers in the community are welcome. This International Sculpture Symposium will become an ongoing biennial Arts event for the Adelaide Hills and South Australia, leaving a lasting and growing legacy of ‘Sculpture in the Hills’. The AHISS is an incorporated not for profit association managed by an Executive Committee, a Mentor Board and a Symposium Board of major stakeholders such as Councils, Government, Tourism and the Community. Silvio Apponyi is the Artistic Director.

Unfortunately despite the best efforts of Council and AHISS today “The Remoteness” was dismantled and removed from Stirling library lawns into storage.
When creating in natural materials the possibility of imperfections is always present, the cracks in the sculpture were unable to be fixed.
AHISS hopes to bring this wonderful piece by Miguel Isla back to public life at some stage in the future.

Master sculptors from around the world carved their dreams in stone during the Adelaide Hills International Sculpture Symposiums in 2012, 2014 and 2016 at The Cedars in Hahndorf in South Australia. The lasting legacy of 26 sculptures can be discovered on the Hills Sculpture Trail that winds through the rolling landscapes of the beautiful Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula, linking towns and regions, art and people, nature and beauty.
