BGN 15,000


This grant is to support the Arts for Children project, managed by Dedal Art School Association. The mission of Dedal is to provide free art classes to children from disadvantaged backgrounds in order to help them develop their skills and talents and thereby overcome their social isolation. The America for Bulgaria Foundation has supported Dedal since 2010, and so far 1,000 children have benefited from the art school’s programs. As of 2018, Dedal has a library, a gallery, a recording studio, and a sculpture studio. In 2020, 120 children from Varna will have the opportunity to attend workshops in drawing, contemporary art, graphic and web design, photography, cinematography, and percussions. Twenty students will receive assistance in preparing their art school applications.

We are performing technical maintenance on our website and the project database will not be accessible until 4 pm today.
