In 2007, a new gallery of contemporary art, ARC Projects, opened its doors in Sofia, Bulgaria. ARC Projects had an international perspective, representing artists from Bulgaria, Bosnia, Estonia, Serbia, Slovenia, and the UK.
The gallery was centrally located in Sofia's main shopping district, occupying the fourth floor of a distinctive blue glazed building on Boulevard Vitosha, just opposite the National Palace of Culture. The gallery space frontage was a large glass curtain wall, giving impressive views over one of the city's main parks. The 110 square metre (1,100 square feet) gallery space was designed in conjunction with LIA, Sofia, and featured a large rectangular exhibition space, a private viewing area and office.
ARC Projects gallery had its roots in Art Research Communication (ARC), an Edinburgh based company working nationally and internationally with artists, exhibitions, projects and critical context. ARC was founded in 2004 by Chris Byrne and Iliyana Nedkova to take forward their combined experience in the field of contemporary art.
