Aims and Objectives

The Low Countries Sculpture Society aims to increase communication and foster discussion between sculpture historians, conservators, collectors, curators, custodians, creators and all those interested and enthusiastic about this medium, as well as to enable the research and preservation, both materially and intellectually, of sculpture, medals and sculptors’ drawings from the Low Countries, from antiquity to the present day.

The website will be instrumental in achieving this, and an annual programme of at least three lectures, three visits and a study tour will complement the ‘virtual’ website discussions. Collaboration with other societies concerned with sculpture and encouragement to publish in such journals as The Sculpture Journal, Church Monuments and The Medal will be central to the Society.

In the long term, it is hoped that the Society will become a body with an active lobbying role for the promotion and preservation of Low Countries sculpture. We will actively seek sponsorship, gifts and legacies that will allow us to embark on large-scale publication and/or exhibition projects and assist the conservation of Low Countries sculpture.

The Society will be very glad to receive requests for information relating to any aspect of Low Countries sculpture and will do its best to supply this or to direct the enquirer to a proper source for it. However, valuations of individual sculptures are not conducted by the Society, though it is more than happy to arrange for a member of the Society to conduct them on their personal account.

All postal correspondence to be sent to POBox 1304, B-1000 Brussels 1.
