Dear friends and collaborators worldwide, 

We are extremely happy and proud to announce the official opening of the 2022 International Contemporary Miniprint of Kazanlak at the Kazanlak Art Gallery! This year already marks our 10th anniversary, and as per our tradition the exhibition officially 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!

The selection of this 10th edition is incredibly varied, and features over 500 works from over 180 artists working from 40 countries around the world! The 2021 international jury was composed of Hui Ju Chang (Taiwan), Agata Dworzak-Subocz (Poland) and Peter Boyadjieff (Bulgaria), presided over by the direction of Miniprint Kazanlak in collaboration with the city of Kazanlak’s administrative council. 

This year, as Miniprint Kazanlak is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, we have decided to mark this special occasion by also featuring a Special Parallel Exhibition showcasing all of our awarded artists in the past 10 years! This Special Parallel Exhibition will be featured at the Kazanlak Art Gallery during the entire duration of Miniprint Kazanlak 2022!
