Sculture di sabbia is a recurring sand sculpture exhibition in Jesolo, Italy, staged in Piazza Brescia. International artists turn compacted sand into large, detailed sculptures for a temporary public display. Its sports focus draws on athletes in motion, sporting equipment, teamwork, competition, and physical effort. These scenes connect dedication and strength with stories of challenge, victory, and passion. The exhibition accompanies Jesolo’s recognition as a European City of Sport.

Artists carve prepared blocks using a subtractive technique that gradually reveals each final form. The sand must retain the right moisture while shovels and trowels remove broad sections. Fine brushes and even kitchen utensils help define smaller details across the surface. Artistic director David Ducharme from Canada guides contributions from artists including Susanne Ruseler and Sue McGrew. Titles such as Le tre Grazie and Corpo d’acqua extend the subject towards links between body, mind, and spirit. A barrier-free setting lets residents and tourists encounter the same public artwork. The temporary works remain for only a few months, while a kitchen utensil can become a finishing tool for a sporting figure’s hand.
