Bulgarian Foundation for Arts Culture and Education

We are raising money to benefit the Bulgarian Foundation for Arts, Culture and Education (BgFACE) for the building and placement of the Monument of the Cyrillic Alphabet in Los Angeles, CA, USA.

Any donation will help the project. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause.

The monument of the Cyrillic Alphabet in Los Angeles, CA will be brought to fruition with the cooperative efforts of the Bulgarian Foundation for Arts, Culture and Education, the Bulgarian Council General in Los Angeles, the City of Los Angeles and the sculpture’s author - Mr. Broni Likomanov.

The sculpture portrays the image of a stylized saint’s hand holding a book, which transforms into a bird in motion. Under the book are carved the first four letters of the Cyrillic Alphabet - А, Б, В and Г. The letters illuminate during the night to symbolize the light that knowledge brings into people’s lives.

The monument will be crafted from bronze.
