- Sculptor Moshe Perelman initiated the symposium in 1992. “I had participated in such symposiums in France and Italy,” said Perelman, “and I wondered why we don’t have something like this in Israel.” He brought the idea to Shlomo Buhbut, Mayor of Maalot-Tarshiha, and recalls, “I showed him pictures, he got the budget for it, and we had our first symposium.” Yet the early days were not without their problems. “It’s hard to introduce art to the public,” said Perelman, “we’d come in the morning and find sculptures with pieces broken off – now the kids are the best guardians of the sculpture. We made art education happen through this symposium.”
