Brâncuși Month 2025 – Romanian contemporary sculpture exhibitions and awards

The fifth edition of the Luna Brâncuși series of events celebrating the artistic legacy of the artist Constantin Brâncuși in February is made up of exhibitions taking place in several venues in Bucharest. Brâncuși Month 2025 brings to the forefront the creations of 110 contemporary Romanian sculptors, whose works of sculpture and drawing will be exhibited at the Brâncovenești Palaces Mogoșoaia, the Romanian Academy Art Galleries and the Simeza Gallery. The event is organized by the Bucharest Sculpture Branch of the Romanian Fine Artists’ Union from February 1 to 28. “Through this event, we aim to honor Brâncuși’s innovative spirit and to offer the general public an insight into the diversity and dynamism of Romanian sculpture today. The exhibitions of Brâncuși Month 2025 will include works that combine traditional materials with innovative techniques, thus offering a foray into the artistic universe of new generations of sculptors,” say the organizers. Artists from all generations, including creative role models such as Ingo Glass and Paul Neagu, are being spotlighted.
