site.btaSofia's Academia Gallery Hosts Metal Art Exhibition
The best metal artworks created by students of the National Academy of Art (NAA) over the last eight years will be presented in an exhibition at Sofia's Academia Gallery between January 6 and 19.
The exhibition will mark 33 years of the NAA Metal Art Department. It is the closing stage of a two-year project which has involved a series of workshops and a conference on metal plastic art. A catalogue of the exhibits will be presented during the opening ceremony at the Academia Gallery on Monday.
The NAA Metal Art Department was set up in 1991, with Associate Professor Georgi Chapkanov initially being the only teacher in the main disciplines, Metal and Composition. A teaching team of the nation's top experts in various metal art divisions was gradually formed in the 1990s.
By 2024, the department awarded bachelor's degrees to more than 250 students, master's degrees to 120 and doctoral degrees to 9. As the only department of its kind in Bulgaria (and a traditional one in almost all European higher schools of art), the Metal Art Department at the NAA has been true to its mission to provide education in the plastic arts, not only to artists but also to teachers and researchers.
