Currently I am looking for funding to refurbish a barn in a picturesque mountain site in Bulgaria – close proximity to Teteven.(http://www.visitbg.net/staedte/index.php?kurid=70) Ideally I am looking for sponsors to fund a sustainably run, environmentally friendly art studio and workshop facilities. Any organisation or foundation with interest in art, archaeology and sustainability will welcome. The barn needs complete renovation and refurbishment to make it suitable for living and working, but also make it environmentally friendly – CO2 Neutral and sustainable building.The studio will be designed to accommodate various art mediums like drawing, painting, print making, pottery, bronze & aluminium furnaces, stone and wood carving. There is also space for a library and a living area. A small farm (hens, goats and bees) will supply basic goods. Those and more can also be sourced locally.As I have graduated from the Bulgarian Art academy, I plan to attract many young artists and also students from independent art schools around the country to visit and participate in various art projects. Also offering various research and development opportunities for the artists.Such space will be ideal for various workshops also related to Climate Change and Sustainable living suitable for younger people and students. I have a big interest in local history and archaeology. Few are aware of the rich heritage of the area dating back before Ancient Greek History, namely ancient Thrace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrace). One of the workshop and art studio projects will be to recreate ancient practices and workshops replica of the Thracian lifestyle.
