On 11 September 2026, Bisera Yosifova, Executive Director of the ‘13 Centuries of Bulgaria’ National Endowment Fund, and Stela Stoilova, Director of the Pavone d’Oro Foundation, signed a joint activity agreement.
The public lecture titled ‘Ornament and Sacrality’, organised jointly by the Foundation and the Fund in early September 2026 at the Gabenski Gallery in Tryavna, launched this collaboration. The lecture was the first of a series focused on the culture and art of Asia’s societies.
Over the next two years, the two organisations will partner in the planning and implementation of various cultural projects, particularly those aimed at promoting the creative journey and contributions of Bulgarian sculptor and philanthropist Zlatko Paunov, donor to the Fund, an honorary citizen of Tryavna, and co-founder of the Foundation.
