The Art Academy for Children project supports the candidacy of the city of Burgas for European Capital of Culture 2032.
The National Academy of Art – Burgas Branch and the Municipality of Burgas organise a Children’s Art Academy for children and school students aged 6 to 15. The main goal of the children's academy is to promote art as an active part of the educational process by provoking a lasting and profound interest in visual arts among adolescents.
Classes in the creative groups (full-day and half-day) are organised and held in the premises of the National Academy of Art – Burgas Branch in Magazia 1, Floor 2, as well as outdoors in the urban environment.
For the participation of children and school students in the Art Academy for Children – Burgas 2026, their parents or guardians need to fill out a declaration.

The activities of half-day and full-day groups are carried out by students under the direct supervision of lecturers from the National Academy of Art. Children and school students are given independent choice and freedom of action. The creative activities are carried out in accordance with the educational requirements to develop their skills and orientation in the dynamically changing environment.
The Art Academy for Children organises visits to museums and exhibitions, hikes and walks, and outdoor workshops and exhibitions presenting the children's works.
