The International Bosilegrad in Colour 2023 Plein Air, organized by the Glas - Bosilegrad Association and the St. Kliment Ohridski 1997 Student community centre in Sofia, culminated in an exhibition of artworks created during the event.

The Bulgarian Consul General in Nis, Dimitar Tsanev, was a special guest.

Seventeen artists from Ukraine, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia participated in the plein air, including both professional artists and art professors. Most of the exhibited pieces reflect the beauty of Bosilegrad’s surroundings. 

"If you look at the paintings you will see the real Bosilegrad in colors," said the chairman of the St. Kliment Ohridski 1997 Student community centre, Rumen Barosov.

Inspired by the beauty of Bosilegrad’s rich natural surroundings, the attractive tourist sites, historical landmarks and local legends, the artists from different generations enjoyed seven days of cultural exchange and creative bonding. 

Expressing gratitude to the participants for joining the undertaking, the hosts promised to gather them again by organizing a combined exhibition in Sofia and Bosilegrad featuring the paintings created during this year’s plein air and the previous two.

The participants in the plein air received certificates from the organizers of the event.

The paintings produced as a result are exhibited in the garden of the house including the Glas Association office.  The exhibition will be open until July 20.
