A new arts centre has opened doors in the town of Kalofer dedicated to the famous Kalofer lace. Its prototype is the Brussels lace first brought to Bulgaria at the end of the 19th century. The craft of lacework received a boost after 1910, when the first and only school teaching lace making was opened at the Assumption of the Theotokos Convent. After 1944 when the Communist regime in Bulgaria started, the teaching of this craft was suspended and few women have remained to this day who are skilled at it. The aim of the new centre is to popularize this art and its opening is part of the activities part of the programme for "Plovdiv - European Capital of Culture 2019".
