About the "Friends of the Sea" exhibition
The National Exhibition "Friends of the Sea" is the oldest non-capital art forum in Bulgaria. It began in 1966, and since 1968 the event has established itself as a biennial. After a break in the 1980s, the exhibition was restored in 2004 and continues to be a hub for the most prominent Bulgarian artists.
The twelfth edition will take place in August 2026, presenting works inspired by the maritime theme.
