       When the elements of time, budget and the ideal venue are properly aligned with one of the worlds leading sand sculpture service providers, there is a conjunction that can yield a fascinating albeit temporary display (a single sand sculpture) for all manner of occasions or special events, private or public.
        Further, there can be produced unique and elaborate shows (gated, with a paid ticket admission) of many sand sculptures and other dramatic elements, generally all revolving around a central theme. These shows are designed as an affordable and unique entertainment draw and/or cultural event open to the general public (a sand park).
       Sometimes Pro/Am sand sculpture contests, or even Master and Grandmaster level international competitions are implemented alongside of, or as part of these prodigious exhibitions.
       A single sand sculpture or a sand park or other sand event such as a competition or world record breaking publicity stunt can be as big as is practical & cost effective for any particular venue.
       Space permitting, incredible sand sculptures may be created indoors or outside. They can remain up and on display for one day, or indefinitely pending certain conditions.  It's entirely and up to the client or producer.  Individual sculptures can range in size from a few hundred pounds up to thousands of tons.
      Depending on the format of the display, the sculpture size and the amount of time for the run of the show are completely flexible aspects.

     At a sand park, where there are many sand sculptures of various sizes, generally of a related theme, there are usually other dramatic elements included such as water features, plants and landscaping, dynamic light and sound systems. etc.
    Also, other non sculpture features may be added such as photo exhibits of the construction process, play areas for children, cafe, bar, food court and merchandise retail sales outlets.  This all makes for a unique & captivating cultural attraction that is a compelling and entertaining draw. 
   
    The price of admission to these fenced off sand parks  is usually equivalent to the price of a local movie theater ticket or less, depending on various factors such as the local market conditions or the size and scope of the operation. Ideally, food and beverage concessions and other fun activities like carnival rides are present on site at various times to keep things at the venue fresh, exciting and changing, as well. Depending on the scope of the operation, sometimes other ancillary activities such as crafts or art shows or even concerts & carnivals are setup for weekends and holidays for an extended draw potential.

  Due to the permitting regulations in many areas, these temporary installations are often only up and in operation for up to four months at a time. In some cases where it is permitted, the site remains engaged as a sand park indefinitely, but the sculptures and theme of the show are changed periodically (seasonally). Thus creating even more opportunities for repeat customers and other (new) special events.

   Sand parks also  make superb settings for myriad catered special events and private functions such as weddings, meetings and family reunions or picnics.

   Inside the sand park other related operations besides just the static display of magnificent art in the delicate medium of sand can be presented. A prime area is in education.
   Professional sand sculptors the world over have been practicing the craft at an advanced level for more than a quarter of a century. This aggregate of experiences and awareness has fostered a body of knowledge that has been assimilated around the globe and utilized in practice by masters and the neophytes under their tutelage in various commercial settings. The vast majority of these learning sessions are as hands on experience in workshops given prior to and during the students/volunteers involvement in assisting the masters at particular shows. For instance at the annual major show we've been presenting for the last 13 years  in Jesolo (Venice) Italy, we utilize the service of a dozen students each year  from the Academy of Art in Venice each spring. The gain valuable knowledge of the medium and craft as well as school credit, in exchange for their labor and working as assistants to the masters. Some of the students start as freshmen and remain with us for years, some have even remained involved with us after they graduated University.   
      But it does not necessarily have to be hands on to be educational. Complete novices and  accomplished  or adept sculptors alike can learn to understand some of the common but basic principles of sand sculpting through demonstrations or video presentations presented on site at the park, or elsewhere. These teachings range from the basic "Sand Castles 101" on the entry level, which is a brief workshop that anyone can benefit from. It covers the rudimentary principles and techniques for understanding why sand sticks together & more importantly why it does not.
    Course study can be advanced all the way up to master pieces.  Sand symposiums for learning about how to work in the craft can be regularly scheduled at Sandtopia parks.
   
       The educational aspect is not limited to the physicality of working in the craft either, One does not need to get ones hands sandy at all so to speak. The history of sand sculpture, the science & physics behind it, and ecological and conservation aspects all are also relevant.
  The educational component can tie in to other aspects such as entertainment readily. Students & volunteers, especially during sculpture construction times serves a trifold purpose overall, quite well. Volunteer students/helpers or interested participants are:
   Invaluable physical help to the masters.
   Learning about a unique medium and farming future talent.
   Great publicity for the Sand Park or show.

REQUIREMENTS FOR A SAND PARK OPERATION:

• A venue with space and permitting suitable for outdoor festivals.

       The site needs to have a water source, and adequate drainage (we can tap and meter fire hydrant plugs). The site needs to be accessible for heavy equipment and shipping containers required for the setup of the sculptures. Additionally it should be practical for parking, food and beverage concessions (and possibly ancillary draw attractions ranging from arts & craft shows to carnival rides) with rest rooms or portable facilities, etc. for the time after the setup, when the park is open to the public. The sculpture garden will be fenced, blocking the view of the sculptures from the outside. The other aspects of the event may possibly be outside of the fenced area.

• Advertising, Marketing and Promotion (AMP).

   Naturally, advertising/marketing and promotion of the event to the local population and direct target marketing regionally is crucial to a good success. We can do teaser sculptures and publicity stunts utilizing sand sculpture as a media hook. We can align the event with local merchants and commerce through creative tie-ins such as discounted tickets with purchases of meals, retail merchandise, etc. We can also provide additional off site sand sculpture services (for any type of special event or occasion) as a promotional tool. Ideally a major sponsor will be engaged for the betterment of the AMP aspect, such as a television or cable service provider or other multimedia powerhouse. A wi-fi connection on site is a major plus.

• Funding & Sponsorships.

   There are of course, hard costs associated with putting any sand sculpture operation into play. These costs will be supplied up front by fund raising and corporate sponsorship opportunities. The profits are generated by ticket sales, related merchandise sales and food & beverage concessions as well as any fees charged for other event draws such as craft (or other booth) registrations, kiddy rides, etc.

   As mentioned, above sculptures can range in size from a few hundred pounds to thousands of tons. But, depending on the format of the display, time, budget or other considerations, the sculpture sizes and the length of the engagement are completely flexible aspects. A similar and key dynamic exists in the formula of  labor man hours over the total volume of sand to be dealt with and the amount of available time in which to do so.
  Besides designing and promoting prior, and operating and maintaining a show after it is opened, there are several other distinct aspects of a large or articulated sand displays that need to be considered. Most of these can be done from a basic" bare bones & minimal" approach up to an advanced and full blown level. Obviously costs are dependent upon all these factors, so advance planning is critical. But they all can be dialed in or regulated to maximize available resources for the purpose of  yielding the best product and result.

Key aspects to implementing a sand park:

1. Designing, administration and promotion of the show.
2. The site prep (field engineering & the poundup).
3. The sculpting (the art).
4. The decorating (field engineering).
5. Photo exhibit, food , beverage and merchandise sales.
   
6. Operations and maintenance of the show after opening.
7. Further marketing and promotions.
8. Strike. (The removal of the show & sand, and returning the site to it's original condition) 

   The HR aspect primarily falls into three categories: Administration, (design crew) Field Engineers (tech crew) and The Talent (carving crew). Sometimes people can crossover between these crews.
      The population of any particular project can vary on a sliding scale of how many people for how long are required to be engaged in their respective roles in order to produce the desired affect. Numerous details of design and construction will affect this ratio of people involved with how much sand and time on any given project. One person can do 'X' amount of work. in 'Y' amount of sand (or in an office) in  'Z' amount of hours. Altering the quantity (and some times quality) of any or all of these attributes will yield limitless possibilities and configurations resulting in different end results. These can be optimally configured as needed to suit a clients needs in terms of time, budget and available resources.
