The 2nd International Symposium of Collage at the School of Fine Arts in Plovdiv.
The invited artists brought artworks with them, to exhibit in RomFeria Gallery in Plovdiv.
During the Symposium they worked at the School of Fine Arts, making more collages/assemblages from objects found in Plovdiv. At the end of the Symposium an exhibition of these new works was mounted.
When that exhibition is finished, the works will be aquired by the city sponsors and the School of Fine Arts.
This has been a great experience, in a country which honours its culture and its artists, and where collage is seen as a serious art medium.
