The traditional charity bazaar exhibition of Bulgarian schools for the arts, would open on December 18 at 6pm at the Culture Ministry's Sredets exhibition hall, the Culture Ministry said.

The exhibition would present 14 Bulgarian arts high schools. A large part of the works of art's young authors were laureates of national and international competitions.

The exhibited paintings, plastic arts objects, wall panels, icons, graphics, drawings, ceramics, wood-carving pieces and dolls would be sold for charity. Money collected would be used to aid arts schools by affording the opportunity to realise arts projects, buy materials, improve the teaching conditions and provide arts training for children.

Many of the participants in the exhibition were scholarship holders of the Culture Ministry and the National Culture Fund, the Culture Ministry said.

The exhibition would continue until December 26.
