SandLand

SANDLAND (Antalya Sand Sculpture Museum) is one of the largest sand sculpture events in the world with its features such as the area width, the number of participating artists and the amount of sand used, in which hundreds of sand sculptures are exhibited. The event, supported by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Antalya Governorship, Antalya Metropolitan Municipality and Turkish Airlines, is organized by Global Design Art Works.

Sand sculpture art is a special type of Ephemeral (temporary) art that has become widespread in the world in recent years. Only sand and sand are used in sand sculpture activities within the scope of alternative arts. The sand sculptors carry out their work in solo or in teams of 2-3 people, taking into account the dimensions of the sculpture. The result is magnificent artifacts, weighing hundreds of tons, length and height of meters, using only water and sand. Sand Sculpture Art carries the philosophy that nothing is permanent and that everything will someday disappear. Therefore, these unique artifacts that amaze the viewers are demolished and destroyed after a short period of exhibition.
