Organisations

1. Association des Sculpteurs sur Pierre de la Montérégie (ASPM)
   

   http://www.aspm.ca/Html/QuiSommesNous.html
   L’ASPM, a reçu ses Lettres Patentes en 1993. Le but est de promouvoir la sculpture sur pierre et de sensibiliser le public à cette forme d’expression artistique. C’est dans le Studio Créativ’art de St-Basile-le-Grand, sous la direction du peintre et sculpteur Jean-Pierre Neveu, que le premier exécutif fut élu par une douzaine de sculpteurs réunis. Aujourd’hui, la majorité des 45 membres sculpteurs ont leur atelier individuel, par ailleurs quelques uns vont dans un atelier spécialisé. Tous produisent des œuvres originales et professionnelles. Certains travaillent uniquement la pierre, d’autres travaillent aussi le bronze et autres médiums, du miniature au monumental. Chaque année, l’ASPM organise plusieurs expositions pour ses membres selon leur disponibilité. Les membres de l’ASPM participent à différentes expositions individuelles et/ou collectives, à des symposiums et démonstrations non seulement au Québec mais dans d’autres provinces du Canada et même à l’international. Nous espérons vous atteindre par le professionnalisme des œuvres de chacun des sculpteurs et par la sensibilité qui s’en dégagent.
   Location: Canada (Québec).

3. Dry Stone Conservancy
   

   http://www.drystone.org/
   Dry stone construction, the ancient craft of building enduring stone structures without mortar, was widely practiced in frontier America. Skilled masons from across Europe built houses, barns, harbor piers, canal locks, and many other kinds of structures from local stone. The mission of the nonprofit Dry Stone Conservancy is to: revive and maintain the ancient craft of dry-laid stone masonry construction; conserve existing dry stone structures through preservation, repair and reconstruction, and: advocate for public education and awareness on the history and craft of dry stone construction. One of the means by which the Conservancy's goals are accomplished is through its restoration and training activities. The Conservancy offers introductory workshops for the general public, advanced training for aspiring drystone masons, and a certification program and masons registry. The Conservancy also offers on-site consultations, restoration and new construction supervision, design and advice by a Certified Dry Master Craftsman and a registered Landscape Architect, technical information and instructional publications.
