In 2017, we were thinking of changing the format of our symposium and invite participants from the Carpathian region, namely from the Visegrad Four countries, and the theme of the symposium was “Bridge” because we aim to create a cultural and tourist bridge between Ukraine and the neighboring countries of Transcarpathia.

The symposium was held in Chynadievo village, in the Castle “St. Miklos”. The participants were the following sculptors: Chander Parkas, India, Endre Hidi Jr., Ukraine, Rishard Litvinyuk, Poland, Janos Drienyovski, Hungary, Janos Rupert, Hungary.

The sculptures were given to local communities by villages Chynadievo, Zhnyatino, N. Vorota, Skole town and the village of Torpo in Hungary, which is in conciliation, near the Ukrainian border. Since then, our project “Carpathian sculptural Way” has become international.

The symposium was held by the support of: Visegrad Found, General Consulate of Hungary in Uzhgorod city and the KMKSz Party.

After a year’s break we again had the opportunity to present new sculptures to our region. With the support of the Kosino Thermal Spa and the Bethlen Gabor Foundation, we invited 7 sculptors from 5 countries to create on the theme “from a pure well”.

The clearing opposite the Kosino thermal Spa was chosen as the venue, enabling many tourists to see with their own eyes how a sculpture is created and to promote our project.

The sculptures were donated to the villages of Popovo, Zapson, Rafaynovo, Shom and V. Bygan of Berehiv district. Participants: Peter Matl, Ukraine, Starmüller Geza, Romania, Sandor Makoldi, Hungary, David Raffai, Hungary, Vasil Tatarsky, Ukraine, Piotr Bies, Poland, Tomas Gugyela, Slovakia.

The symposium was held by the support of: the Bethlen Gabor Foundation, local governments and Kosino thermal spa.

Sculptor Peter Matl, who is the chairman and founder of the NGO About Art-Munchak, in 1998 started organizing sculpture symposiums in Mukachevo. Then, with the support of the City Council, 3 symposia were held in 1998, 1999, 2000. the result was 27 sculptures that were located in the central part of the city and in the parks.

In 2014, taking the idea of ​​a legend closely related to our land, we founded the Carpathian Sculptural Path, which aims to create a new cultural and tourist center in the Carpathian region.

The theme of the first symposium was legends and events related to the locations of the first sculptures, namely with Varievo, Galabor and Borzsava villages. The participants were sculptors from 3 countries, Tomasz Gugyelo, Slovakia, Santo Janos Botond Hungary, Endre Hidi Ukraine, Peter Matl, Ukraine.
