The Contemporary Art Gallery, managed by the "Art Movement Circle" Foundation since 2002, is located at 3 Trakia Blvd. The team maintains a rich cultural calendar and a variety of cultural programs with the active participation of young artists from the city, region, country, and abroad. The wealth of local and international talents presented is supported by the experience of Art Movement "Circle" in working within open and unconventional spaces, as well as in developing new art zones, such as the cause of the Art House in Dzhadovnica, created by the team, located in the center of the village. Artists from 33 countries have worked on their projects there. In addition to exhibitions and presentations, Art Gallery "Circle" offers courses in visual arts, photography, and creative writing. They develop new art practices and models, as well as new forms of communication, including through specialized art publications that feature young authors. All of this broadens the perspective and understanding of contemporary trends in culture and cultural industries in Bulgaria, the Balkans, and Europe. In addition to professional artists, it is a traditional practice for the gallery to host exhibitions by students from various universities in the country and abroad, studying graphic design, sculpture, ceramics, and architecture. Some of the events are held to support different causes. In addition to presentations by authors from Bulgaria and abroad, the gallery also showcases works created during various editions of the International Plein Air "Art Horizons" in Dzhadovnica, which is part of different European and international networks for contemporary arts. The gallery also created a visual arts class for children and serves as a youth cultural center, organizing debates, multimedia screenings, and literary performances. It also acts as an information center for upcoming cultural events, with many activities in the Art Gallery being implemented in partnership with the Municipality of Kardzhali. Art Gallery "Circle" has a collection of works by contemporary Bulgarian and foreign authors, with over 300 pieces. A large part of them have been donated by artists who participated in the International Plein Air "Art Horizons," which has been held in Dzhadovnica since 2005.
