International
Photographers’ Plein air – Varna, Bulgaria
13 – 22 May 2010
Be
a part of the spring revival of Varna, the so-called Queen of the Bulgarian
Black Sea coast! We offer you
romantic adventures in the wild nature; a memorable visit to rock monasteries
and king’s palaces...
The event is organized by the “Sea Blue” Association for International Cultural Management (sea-blue.org), an experienced
organization maintaining high objectives and creative ideas.
We invite photographers
(professionals or students in photography), more than 18 years old. The Plein air is planned for May 13-22, 2010 (10 days). We offer you a unique chance to visit and photograph some of the most strange and mysterious cultural, historical, archeological and natural sites in the
Black Sea area:
-
The Aladja monastery – a Bulgarian rock monastery (40 meters high) dating
from the early Middle Ages. Monastic cells and a small church have been dug into a sheer rock that was a part of the ancient Sarmatian Sea’s bed;
-
The Yailata country, a seaside terrace, located in the North Black Sea coast region; a bay, surrounded by stone blocks and luxuriant vegetation, fascinating with numerous old civilizations remains and with its wonderful flora and fauna;
-
Balchik – one of the most picturesque Black Sea coastal towns, founded 7000 years ago. The so-called “White town” sprawls scenically along hilly terraces descending to the sea. Balchik has a unique atmosphere due to the combination of its old
houses and streets and the charm of its Botanical garden and the Palace of the
Romanian queen Maria;
-
Varna – Bulgaria’s biggest resort city on the Black Sea, an inheritor of
ancient civilizations, the so-called “Pearl of the Black Sea coast”.
The main goals of this plein air are: to be an international meeting for professionals from all over the world, who will exchange some experience during their stay in Bulgaria; to popularize Varna’s unique cultural heritage by means of photography; to popularize
the art of photography; to discover new talents on the national and
international photo stage.
All the participants will present some of their works in the exposition that will be organized in an art gallery in Varna. A
catalogue will be published.
