« Art behind the corner »: the « big table » event returns to a new place


After last year the « big table » gathered neighbors and visitors to Exarch Joseph Street and Oborishte Street in Sofia, the event returns with the first edition for 2025. This Saturday, May 31, it will again gather at a table familiar and unfamiliar people, but in a new place – 11th August Street and Vrabcha Street. During the event, the streets will be closed to cars, but fully open to pedestrians from 11am to 10pm.

The organizers report that this year there will be a total of four editions, and the first will go under the motto « The art around the corner » because it is dedicated to all galleries, ateliers, cultural institutions and small neighborhood cafes in the area, located in the heart of Sofia.

That is why the program includes a number of exhibitions, street performances, live music and creative workshops for children.

Especially for the event, the Sofia Opera and Ballet prepare a special theme exhibition outdoors, and with various initiatives the surrounding galleries « Arosita », « Harta », Depoo and Little Bird Place will participate. They will present exhibitions and installations both on the street and in their cozy art spaces, and the POP-UP exhibition will include The Sofianer.

Creative workshops with artist Mila Lozanova, a ballet lesson, Sofia Drawing and Coloring Symbols and various games are just some of the activities for the youngest visitors.

The music program will be extremely diverse – from the opera on the street from the soprano from the Sofia Opera and the Ballet Stanislava Momekova and the Bass Bariton Nikola Popov, through the virtuoso jazz duo, and the boss Nova from Pavel Terziev, Borislav Iliev and percussion, to urban hose from Ralitsa Bejan.

Traditionally, everyone is invited to bring a home-cooked dish or to choose something beloved from nearby establishments or guest cars that will be located on the spot. The entrance to the « big table » organized on the Oborishte region, and all the activities in the daily program are free.
