Traditionally the celebration started by a procession to the St. Kliment Ohridski's monument. After laying the wreaths the procession changer the traditional route and entered the University by the North entrance in order to open the new Gallery Hall.
The first to exhibit there was Prof. Ivaylo Mirchev, Chair of the Union of Bulgarian Artists. His exhibition was entitled "Bridges of the Soul" deliberately: to commemorate the political decision to give out part of the donated to Sofia University land to build the Gallery of the Union of Bulgarian Artists. 40 years of lawsuits and hard words between the two institutions lead to no solution. The idea was Prof. Ilchev's: the Rector appeals to the politicians with this gesture to "bridge the soul" by resolving the long-lasting dispute. Hes appeal found the support of the Minister of Education, Assoc. Prof. Sergey Ignatov.
