On Monday, we made a technical visit to the CIDA (Comprehensive Alabaster Development Center) in Albalate del Arzobispo as part of the 14th International Alabaster Sculpture Symposium, with one goal: to work on a collaborative project for 2025.

We’ll soon be able to tell you more about this initiative, which we’re working on hand in hand with CIDA Director Santiago Martínez.

Meanwhile, we enjoyed the array of artists participating in the event, who transformed alabaster into unique works that will remain as a legacy for all.

These artists include: Sasho Sazdovski (North Macedonia), Robert Buček (Czech Republic), Ingrid Tost Dalmau (Spain), Antonio Reiné (Spain) and Martha Quinn (Ireland).

The Comprehensive Center for the Development of Alabaster (CIDA) leads initiatives for art and innovation. It seeks to become a benchmark in alabaster sculpture, attracting artists from all over the world. CIDA is also a benchmark in alabaster training.
