As part of the Seine River development and the city's cultural policy, the city of Melun encourages the installation of large-scale sculptures on themes related to Melun's heritage. This year, they are asking an artist or collective of artists to propose a 3-meter-tall heron made of recycled wood. The artist(s), in partnership with the SMITOM, will be required to offer five educational workshops to a school audience during their time there.
