Кабинѐт* works along with Bulgarian and international clients, among which are individuals, art institutions or commercial enterprises that aspire to achieve strategic development in the future.

In support of
the eco system
Кабинѐт* lands a hand to young authors and entrepreneurs from Bulgaria by offering free consultations at the end of each month. Consultations cover a wide range of topics from strategic career guidance, putting together a good portfolio, referring potential venues and people to pitch their work, and more. This strategic guidance for young artists and entrepreneurs supports the individuals themselves, but also aims to discover new talent and visionaries to support Bulgaria’s artistic ecosystem.

*„Кабинѐт“ (Bulgarian pronunciation: [kəbineˈt]) is a word, which in Bulgarian has the meaning of a personal room in a private home or a public establishment, used for reflection time, creative work and writing, where knowledge and expertise is collected. Very often, it stores a large number of materials, books, artifacts, archives, etc. Unlike an office, it is considered a more intimate space where fewer people are allowed. The other meaning of the word „Кабинѐт“ refers to members who belong to a community.
