On October 2, the second edition of Sofia Art Fair (SAF) - the largest international contemporary art exhibition in Bulgaria - was officially opened. The atmosphere of the opening evening was filled with energy and anticipation as the halls of Sofia Tech Park transformed into a stage for impressive artistic performances from across Europe. Under the motto IMAGINE, this year’s edition of Sofia Art Fair invites the audience to unlock their imagination and discover new perspectives on contemporary art.
Galleries from 12 countries, including France, Italy, the Netherlands, Hungary, Latvia, Romania, Georgia, Azerbaijan, the Czech Republic, Austria, Spain, and Bulgaria, presented new and specially prepared works - painting, sculpture, objects, photography, digital media, and mixed techniques. The opening night brought together international collectors, curators, business representatives, and art lovers, who were the first to experience the large-scale installations and striking artistic interventions.
For the second year, Unique Estates Life magazine is the official media partner of Sofia Art Fair, reaffirming the longstanding mission of Unique Estates | Christie’s International Real Estate to support significant cultural initiatives in Bulgaria. Among the distinguished guests at the opening was Elisaveta Slavkova, General Manager of Unique Estates Media, who congratulated the organizers and artists on the strong start and enjoyed the first showcased works.
Sofia Art Fair continues through October 5, featuring SAF Talks with lectures, panel discussions, and meetings with international experts and curators, special guided tours and children’s art zones, as well as presentations of new collections and opportunities for direct encounters between artists and collectors. For those who have not yet visited, the coming days are a chance to immerse themselves in a world of ideas, aesthetics, and global themes that shape the future of contemporary art!
