Dear friends and collaborators worldwide,
We are extremely happy and proud to announce the official opening of the 2021 International Contemporary Miniprint of Kazanlak at the Kazanlak Art Gallery! This year our exhibition opens in June during the Kazanlak Rose Festival cultural festivities, at the heart of our city’s yearly celebrations of the Valley of the Thracian Kings.
Despite worldwide pandemic disruptions, the selection of this 9th edition is incredibly varied and features over 450 works from over 150 artists working from 35 countries around the world! The 2021 international jury was composed of Eric Mummery (Canada), Christiaan Diedericks (South Africa) and Peter Boyadjieff (Bulgaria), presided over by the direction of Miniprint Kazanlak in collaboration with the city of Kazanlak’s administrative council.
