History 沿革詳細
京都彫刻家協会
本協会は１９69年（昭和４4年）に京都彫刻家連盟として発足しました。遡る事１９６１年（昭和３６年）、京都の美術系大学や京都在住の作家から彫刻作品を集め、京都府立植物園主催で彫刻野外展を開催したのが始まりとなり、１９６９年（昭和４４年）には京都府主催で京都府商工美術工芸課の京都美術振興の一環として第１回京都野外彫刻展を開催しました。その後連盟は１９９６年（平成８年）に「京都彫刻家協会」と名称を変更して現在に至っております。発足以来、京都府と連携・協力しながら活動を続け、現在会員数は120名、所属団体の枠組みを超えて相互の親睦と交流を図るとともに広く府民の文化芸術に対する理解を促す為に、春には京都彫刻家協会展、秋には京都野外彫刻展と京都府庁旧本館での彫刻展を継続して開催しております。現在は京都のみならず他府県や海外の作家との繋がりを広げる企画や、次世代の育成のためのワークショップなども開催しており、今後も２０代～９０代という幅広い会員層を活かした活動を続けたいと考えております。
Kyoto Sculptors Association
Kyoto Sculptors Association began as the Federation of Kyoto Sculptors in 1970. It was started in 1961, when several sculptures by the students of art colleges in Kyoto and the sculptors living in Kyoto were collected to hold an outdoor sculpture exhibition. In 1969, the first Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition was held, sponsored by Kyoto Prefecture as a part of an art promotion project by the Department of Commerce, Industry, Arts, and Crafts. The Federation changed it's name in 1996 to Kyoto Sculptors Associotion. The Associotion has been collaborating with Kyoto prefecture since its foundation, and currently has 1３０ members. We aim to promote friendship and collaboration among different organization, and encourage Kyoto citizens' understanding of art. The Kyoto Sculptors Association Exhibition is held in spring, and Kyoto Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition and Sculpture Exhibition in Kyoto Prefectural Goverment Office in fall are herd annually for these purposes. Now, we are holding a project which promote a link to other prefectures and overseas artist along with a trial lesson for next generation. In addition, we intend to continuing a lot of activity going forward with our associstion's wide range of age groups.
