ARSENAL/ 2016 - 25th ANNIVERSARY
The 25th edition of the “Process Space” art festival was held in the city of Ruse from 28th of May to 14th of June, under the motto - “ARSENAL”. The artists were provoked to use their all arsenal of imagination, means of expressions and materials for their participation. The forum brought together 50 participants and guests from Bulgaria and abroad with the idea to meet in a creative dialogue 25 artists who have long participated in the festival and 25 new ones. The forum unfolded in different points of the city, observing performances, musical concerts, theater productions, intervention in the urban environment and architecture, graffiti and two final exhibitions in main City Gallery of the Art Society (4 Borisova St.) and in Canetty Center (12 Slavianska St.)
