In 2026, work is underway on a joint project – Ecopath, which passes through our Art Center. Annually, exhibitions are held by the ACI within the framework of the Maleshevo Sings Festival.
Other partners:
Our foundation has a long-standing partnership with the company “Blagoevgrad Territorial Cadastre Ltd.”, led by Ivan Belezhkov, who are assisting in the cadastral survey of the sculpture park. Their joint project is also the Ecopath, which will be implemented with the Strumyani Municipality.
Our new partners are the SOFERA association represented by Irina and Daniel Paparo. Together with them, right next to the sculpture workshop, an old barn owned by Ivan Rusev was renovated. The facility is called the SHARED STUDIOS GALLERY. Thanks to the activities of the partners, this new facility operates year-round.
In 2025, Ivan Rusev was awarded an award by Mayor Emil Iliev for his long-term overall contribution to the cultural development of the municipality.
