In the summer of 2008, Arnhem will host the 10th Sonsbeek International Sculpture Exhibition, entitled 'Grandeur'. Artistic director Anna Tilroe has invited 28 artists of world renown to visualise the aspiration for human greatness. An exhibition about the urge, the dream, the conflict and the struggle that are linked to this aspiration. The works of art show 'Grandeur on a human scale'.

Residents of Arnhem will carry the works of art through the streets in a magnificent Procession. In this way, Sonsbeek 2008 seeks to involve society in art. The Procession forms the prelude to the official opening of the exhibition in the beautiful Park Sonsbeek.

It is unique that at Sonsbeek 2008 the inhabitants of a city will carry works of art through the streets. It's an event that states that art needs the support of many in order to acquire a real meaning in society. But the Procession is also a celebration, a festive way of presenting art as the symbol of human imagination.

On Sunday June 8, 2008 this Procession will take place amidst the decor of the old innercity of Arnhem.
