The Dialogue through Art exhibition is the second event through which two institutions carried out a direct dialogue with each other through art.

The cooperation in the field of culture between the two countries is dynamic and full-fledged in all its spheres, said the Ambassador of the Republic of North Macedonia to Bulgaria,   Agneza Rusi-Popovska and expressed gratitude for the joint initiative.

"This exhibition is a logical continuation of the exhibition that was presented in Skopje in December. It has already been expanded with the participation of colleagues from the Skopje academy, and the pace at which we worked with our colleagues from Skopje, the speed with which we were able to realize the second exhibition in Sofia makes me optimistic that this is only the beginning of future cooperation between the Academy in Sofia and the Faculty of Fine Arts in Skopje," said National Academy of Arts  Rector Prof. Georgi Yankov.
