FIDEM XXX - Art Medal World Congress
Passages to Reconstruction

September 19-22, 2007

FIDEM is celebrating its 30th Art Medal World Congress at the American Numismatic Association in Colorado Springs!

For the first time in 20 years, The International Medal Federation (FIDEM) is holding its Art Medal World Congress in the United States.  FIDEM XXX will bring together over 150 of the world’s finest handheld sculpture artists for a series of lectures, workshops, receptions and other activities.

Events include a banquet at the 5-star Broadmoor Resort celebrating FIDEM’s 70th birthday, and a special reception bringing together visiting artists and the Colorado Springs art community. The ANA Money Museum is preparing an exhibit featuring 1,500 handheld sculptures from 35 countries. Edmund Moy, Director of the United States Mint, will deliver the congress’ keynote address on Sept. 19.

Colorado Springs is home to Pikes Peak and a vibrant local art scene, and serves as a fitting home for FIDEM XXX. Several activities are planned to take advantage of this picturesque location.  A post-congress trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico explores the heart of American Southwestern art & culture.

For more than half a century, FIDEM has held a biennial congress and exhibition of medallic art. This year’s theme, Passages to Reconstruction, conveys a message of strength and hope following Hurricane Katrina and the tsunami that devastated South and Southeast Asia.
