Description:
The mission of the Bulgarian Macedonian National Educational and Cultural Center (BMNECC) is to preserve, present and promote the cultural values and rich traditions of the Bulgarian and Macedonian people; offer a comprehensive source of Bulgarian and Macedonian historic and educational information; and contribute to the cultural landscape by presenting unique artistic events and performances.
Founded in 1930, we are the the oldest, largest, and most active Bulgarian-Macedonian organization in the U.S. Our organization offers programs in language and dance for children and adults. For 90 years we’ve been offering the local and regional community a host of activities – from live music and dance events, to art exhibits, plays, film screenings and lectures. Our award-winning Otets Paissii Performing Folk Ensemble performs regularly at venues in the Pittsburgh region and beyond, keeping our rich musical history alive.
Our historic facility, built in 1935, houses the largest collection of Bulgarian art, media, costumes, jewelry, textiles, books, and artifacts in the United States.
