Skener Gallery is pleased to host the remarkable traveling exhibition „Light for Shipka“! The community center in Shipka is one of the first in the country, founded 161 years ago. In the period 1917 – 1931, after a long donation campaign and entirely with the voluntary work of the local people, the Community Center House was built – a monument intended as a home for the community center activities and a monument to the people of Shipchen who died in the wars for national unification. Unfortunately, in the 1990s, the community center activity was moved back to the building of the revival school, because of which, even today, vigilant members of the public are carrying out a noble initiative to restore the building, so that it can once again become a home of the Bulgarian spirit and culture! Part of this initiative is the art plein air held in Shipka with the participation of 8 artists from all over the country. Subsequently, another 16 artists donated their paintings. The exhibition currently includes 50 works of painting, watercolor, graphics and collage.

Skener Gallery hopes that our loyal audience will join the noble cause by purchasing a painting from the exhibition. You can see the full list and prices here >> Our team strives to show authors and paintings of high spiritual and artistic value, and we are sure that owning such a painting will preserve your spiritual and material well-being!
