Partners
Bucharest Sculpture Days is one of Eastern Europe's most significant contemporary sculpture events. Each edition transforms the city into an open-air museum, bringing together artists, curators, and audiences around the enduring power of three-dimensional art.
Since 2021, ZSB has grown from an online inaugural edition into an event that draws thousands of visitors, media attention, and institutional interest. We work at the intersection of public space, cultural heritage, and contemporary practice — making sculpture accessible, relevant, and unmissable.
Our partners are integral to this mission. They don't sponsor a product — they support a movement. One that values material intelligence, physical presence, and the irreplaceable experience of encountering art in shared space.
The most resilient
art form
Bronze, stone, steel, ceramic — sculpture is made from the materials of civilization itself. It doesn't fade, doesn't buffer, doesn't need a screen. It outlasts the artist, the gallery, the century.
A sculpture cannot be fully experienced through a photograph or a screen. Its mass, its shadow, the way it occupies and transforms space — these resist digital replication in ways that flat images cannot.
In an era of AI-generated imagery and virtual experiences, sculpture demands your body to be present. You walk around it, look up at it, touch it. This physicality is increasingly rare and increasingly valuable.
Public sculpture creates gathering points, conversation, civic identity. It turns a space into a place. ZSB amplifies this — bringing art out of galleries and into the city where it belongs.
Who engages
with ZSB
Curators, gallery directors, museum professionals, and private collectors who follow ZSB as a key indicator of sculptural trends in the region.
Embassies, cultural centres, foundations, and municipal organizations that collaborate with ZSB on programming, venues, and outreach.
National and international arts media, cultural journalists, photographers, and documentary filmmakers who cover the event annually.
Design-minded urbanites, students, families, and tourists who encounter sculpture in public space — often for the first time — through ZSB events.
What partners gain
Your brand appears alongside some of Eastern Europe's most compelling contemporary art. ZSB's visual identity, editorial quality, and cultural seriousness reflect directly on every partner.
Supporting ZSB means supporting the preservation and evolution of sculptural practice — one of humanity's oldest art forms. Your contribution has tangible, lasting cultural value.
Partners receive invitations to private viewings, studio visits, opening events, and direct access to a network of artists, curators, and cultural leaders across Romania and beyond.
ZSB pushes boundaries — thematically, spatially, materially. Partners align themselves with an organization that values experimentation and refuses to treat art as decoration.
Where the money goes
For five editions, ZSB has been built on volunteer work — curators, designers, developers, PR. Artist fees don't cover the transport costs of their own works. Your support changes that.
Fair pay for artists whose transport costs alone can exceed their fees. Bolder proposals start with sustainable funding.
Catalogues, posters, wayfinding, digital assets — all designed pro bono for five years.
Press, photography, social content — the work that makes ZSB visible beyond Bucharest.
A permanent, searchable record of contemporary Romanian sculpture. Built without budget since 2021.
Exhibition spaces, insurance, lighting, installation — the invisible infrastructure behind every edition.
Research, artist selection, thematic development — the intellectual framework that gives each edition its identity.
