In 2026, the 25th Göpfersdorfer Holzbildhauerpleinair will take place at the Quellenhof cultural estate in Garbisdorf (a district of Göpfersdorf).
For the 14-day event, we are always looking for artists to apply to take part in the plein air. In 2026, our plein air will take place from 15.05.2026 to 30.05.2026. We, the Heimatverein Göpfersdorf e.V., look forward to receiving your application for this special plein air, with which we want to celebrate a quarter of a century of woodcarving plein air in Göpfersdorf. We would also be pleased if you could distribute the attached conditions of participation among artists and encourage them to apply. As part of the pleinair, artists who are not sculptors should also be given the opportunity to try their hand at working with wood.
Conversely, it is a tradition to introduce sculptors to graphics with a graphics portfolio. Each participant creates a print in an edition of 30 pieces and receives a print portfolio at the end of the plein air. The remaining graphic portfolios are sold to finance the plein air. The participants do not receive any money from us. However, the resulting works can be sold on site or taken home after the plein air. In the hope that we have given you a rough overview and that we receive a few more applications by 20.01.2026, I would like to thank you in advance for your support!
Application deadline: January 20, 2025
