The story

Korca International Sculpture Park in Korce

An annual international stone sculpture symposium in Korça's Rinia Park, running since 2008, where visiting sculptors from countries including Turkey, Portugal, Greece and Japan carve works in granite and marble and donate them permanently to the city as a growing open-air museum. Its permanent donation structure has steadily built one of Albania's only continuously growing international outdoor sculpture collections.

Korça's Sculpture Park, an open-air museum inaugurated within the city's Rinia Park, represents a genuinely distinctive innovation within Albania's cultural landscape, built specifically around a modern vision of contemporary art development rather than displaying pre-existing works.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The symposium's founding principle of permanent donation, every sculpture carved during the roughly two-week gathering becomes a lasting gift to Korça rather than travelling elsewhere afterward, means the project has built a continuously growing, genuinely international public art collection unmatched by any comparable Albanian city's cultural programming

02

The mystery stays covered

That combination of genuine international artist participation and permanent civic donation has made Korça the first Albanian city to build this kind of continuously expanding public sculpture collection through sustained annual international collaboration
