The international forum is organized every year in VelikoTurnovo as an affirmation of the two coinciding feast days – of wine (the day of St. Trifon the Pruner), and of love (St. Valentine’s Day), 14 February, said the exhibition’s curator Ass. Prof. Vladimir Avramov for the Bulgarian news agency BTA.

120 participants from 9 countries are presenting some 240 works at the Rafael Mihailov gallery, among them artists from Israel, Poland, Romania, Serbia, North Macedonia, the Czech Republic, Germany and Italy. The artists from Bulgaria are lecturers and students from the University of VelikoTurnovo, the National Art Academy, Sofia University, New Bulgarian University and Shoumen University. The exhibition covers all fine arts, but this is the first time that conceptual artists working with glass are displaying their works.

“Glass is the vehicle of the enigmatic and frail body of love, it is at the same time a receptacle for wine, that is why this highlight is important to the history of the symposium,” Ass. Prof. Avramov says.

The exhibition, which is competitive, opens at 5.30 PM on 14 February with the award ceremony.
