"Hope" by Turkish Artist Ayla Turan

The West Rutland Art Park is hosting an international sculpture symposium, which will feature nine artists from eight different countries.

The month-long symposium gets underway on Friday,  and is a rare opportunity for the public to meet globally renowned artists at work with local granite, marble and steel.

The West Rutland Art Park is located at the home of Barbara Carris, who helped arrange the symposium.

Carris says all of the artists have previously worked together in China.

VPR's Neal Charnoff talks with Barbara Carris about the symposium.

Neal was a reporter and VPR's All Things Considered host from 2001 to 2014. He joined VPR in 1996, hosting VPR's jazz programming, including live performances from the VPR studios and the Discover Jazz Festival. Prior to VPR, Neal was a programmer and host for WNCS in Montpelier and WDEV in Waterbury. He holds a B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College.
