IIW 2023 Welded Art Book

Acknowledgements Whether it is an individual, a team or a group of artists across the different welded art activities, all deserve our sincere thanks and appreciation for participating with great enthusiasm in helping to achieve our objective to demonstrate the value and benefits of welding and welded art in the promotion of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The interactions between the Exhibition Coordinator and artists have all been outstanding and the contributions greatly appreciated, particularly as participation is entirely voluntary. 36 artists from Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Canada, India, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, Nigeria, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Ukraine and USA have enthusiastically participated with 36 exhibits showcased. Thanks must also go to those organisations which promoted the exhibition in their countries, and it is hoped that their examples will encourage others to provide similar promotion and support next year. Since the introduction of the IIW welded art photographic exhibition in 2019 in Slovakia, we have had excellent responses by IIW members to introducing welded art exhibitions and competitions. In particular, I would like to acknowledge the Indian Institute of Welding (IIW-India), Bulgarian Welding Society (BWS) and Romanian Welding Society (ASR) in meeting one of the main objectives of the IIW welded art photographic exhibitions during the past four years, to encourage organisations to hold similar welded art events in the quest to promote the image of welding and careers to young people.
