UPDATES
Here is where all updates will be posted, chronologically (newest on top)
<Begin 10 November Update> This year the show tent is in a NEW location in the greater Piazza Brescia area on the Jesolo lido.I have provided a map below that shows the location of the show tent and the Hotel Adlon, where we will stay and take all meals,
The distance between the two locations is 1.4 kilometers. Please note it may be cold and wet riding the bicycles to and fro, so plant to dress accordingly.
Breakfast buffet in the Hotel -Opens at 07:30. Lunch-Opens 12:30, and Dinner- Opens at 19:30All your private rooms and meals in the hotel are covered as outlined in the hospitality letter Silvia sent to you some time ago, of course. We have requested vegetarian options be made available besides just salads and pasta for the vegetarians in the group.
Please limit the impact of sand in this fine hotel and restaurant.
You will ask for a bicycle key upon checking in if you are not presented with one, but the front desk staff is expecting you to each have one for your exclusive use each day. Please keep the bicycles locked At All Times everywhere when you are not riding them.
The "official" work schedule is the same for all 14 workdays, 8 working hours per day.4 morning hours 09:00-13:00 one hour break for lunch 13:00 - 14:004 working hours in the afternoon, 14:00 -18:00.
BUT, it is not likely anyone can return to the hotel and get clean enough not to impact a lot of sand in the hotel, eat, and get back to work in just one hour, so I ask you to flex your worktime how you prefer to be able to be comfortable with your breakfast, starting work time, midday break, and afternoon work hours to get at least the prescribed 8 work hours per day, in.
You can start early or work late to flex the time to have a satisfactory & comfortable midday break and still work 8 hours a day. (I am aware some of you work more than 8 hours per day anyway, and that is appreciated, thank you, as ever), It is not required that you sit down to any meals as a group. You can take any meal at anytime the Hotel restaurant is open for each meal.
If you prefer to take any meals elsewhere, that is up to you, but you must pay for those yourself.
On the map, you will see stores for purchasing food or other things you may want or need, as well as a pharmacy, hardware store, and some pizza places, and a Mcdonald's not far from the work site. Plus a BIG shopping center near the show tent.
Please wear your Sultans Of Sand brand gear visibly & no other brands at all times while in the tent, as there will be video and still photos taken at any time.You have to wear safety shoes and use the safety equipment as required also.
Please do not post images of the work you are doing in this show on social media or anywhere else except small teasers not showing the full scope of your work, until at least Christmas day. And when you do post images, please credit (with hashtags) #citadiJesolo,#myjesolo, #jesolosandnativity, #sultansofsandworldwide, & www.sultansofsand.com when you do.
If you want me to have an emergency contact for your people back home or the email addresses for your hometown newspapers for publicity opportunities, please provide me with those at your option.
If you have difficulties or anything that will delay your arrival, please get in touch with Mauro Salamon or his assigns, who will be picking you up outside baggage claim at Marco Polo Airport in Venice. Telephone: +39 338 9334243
We will confirm your departure date and pickup time to return to the airport after you are he

If you go 1.4 kilometers from the Hotel on Via Bafile and turn right on Piazza Brescia passing the water fountains in the park at Brescia on your left-hand side, you will see the building across the street (Via Aquilelia. see on the far right in images abov ), with the big sky wheel to the left of it.The show tent is directly behind this building, adjacent to the big car parking area. Please lock your bikes to the bike rack fences provided at the front entrance to the tent, outside under the awning. Please note this IS the rainy season in Jesolo, so be prepared for possible wet and cold weather going to and from the work site.
Contact Rich if you have any questions about any of this. <End 10 November 2022 Update>

<Begin - 19 October 2022 Update>
There are a few -at least preliminary sketches posted on the SKETCHES tab of the CREW, ASSIGNMENTS, AND SKETCHES PAGE 5
Thank you to those who were able to send them already.
I go to Jesolo at the end of this month (in about ten days) and I hope I will have all the sketches to show by then.
I also hope I have time to see them get them from you and review them myself, and if necessary, request alterations to your sculpture scenes before I meet the producers in Jesolo again.
So please contact me if you need to understand your composition better or well enough to compose the sketches, & send them to me.
as soon as you can. Thanks,
~Rich

<Begin- 16 September 2022 Update> Thanks if you have held the date. The official invitations are now sent to the 14 artists, & if you are reading this, you are one of them. Also, if you are reading this update, note that this is not a set of public web pages. If you click on any tabs at the top of these pages, you will be taken out of these private Tech Data Pages, and you'll have to use your browser's "BACK" button to get back here. But if you click any of the link tabs at the bottom of this page, you will stay on these various private TDP pages. Save the link to these private pages. There are no public links to this TDP info. Do not share this info with anyone not involved in this show. Thank you.
Please respond to the invite by return email with the invite text from that email intact ASAP. If you simply respond with something like "Yes, I accept" -with the invitation text from me intact, I will write back again and confirm you are indeed hired. This will be the extent of any formal contract between us. But be sure to read this TDP, especially the TERMS & CONDITIONS tab below, which IS current info. The theme is "PEACE" based on stories from the Bible that the local church is suggesting I use for your sculptures. I will assign your scene subjects to you as soon as they are approved by the producers. Sketches will be required from you after your subjects are assigned for the producers to approve them, too. Watch for updates regarding this.If you wish, and if you let Rich know in time, you may tweak your poundup configuration a little, from what you will see on the LAYOUT & PU SPECS & VIEW ANGLES tab below. After you get your assignments - hopefully shortly, let me know if you have ideas or questions about your composition designs (or anything else) so you can start composing your sketches as soon as possible. The base form size will need to remain the size indicated on the TDP (when the TDP is completed) though. The bottom form always stays on, and please do not develop any elements on the sand outside of the bottom pedestal frame. Everything must be contained in your bottom (base/pedestal) form. <End- 16 September 2022 Update>

<Begin - 16 October 2022 Update>Assignments have been made. Research them and consult with rich as needed, so you can develop sketches and send them by email to Rich as soon as you can because time is needed for Rich and the producers to review them. Contact Rich if you still have questions about the compositions.
Silvia has sent the hospitality notice to the crew. She (or her colleague) should be contacting you for travel arrangements soon, if not already. Please reply accordingly as soon as she does.
Poundups will be completed, and at least the top two levels of forms will be removed & the parapet guard rails installed on the next level down that has wood forms still on before you arrive. If you want more than two upper levels of forms removed, let Rich know well in advance. <End- 16 October 2022 Update>

<Begin - 08 October 2022 Update> The subjects and the locations you will create them at are assigned. The exact layout of the Poundups is determined, and the base footprints are secure and certain in their spots so you can see where you're working and the Prime Viewing Angles to sculpt for. But on a few, the upper levels are not yet final, so the Layout plans on the Layout Page are still a bit provisional, subject to possibly changing the levels on a few. <End - 08 October Update>
<Begin 30 June 2022 Update> Invitations are starting to be sent out to prospective crew members. The deadline for crew members to reply is 15 July 2022.<End of 30 June Update>
