*Кабинѐт (pronunciation: [kəbineˈt]) is a word, which in Bulgarian has the meaning of a personal room in a private home or a public establishment, used for reflection time, creative work and writing, where knowledge and expertise is collected. Very often, it stores a large number of materials, including books, artefacts, archives, etc. Unlike an office, it is considered a more intimate space where fewer people are allowed. The other meaning of the word Кабинѐт refers to members who belong to a community.

[kəbineˈt] is an environment for new and established collectors formed around Sarieva/Gallery. It is a community and a space for dialogue, analysis, and development. The goal is to support knowledge, collecting, and philanthropy in art.

The Кабинѐт* is following it the art-educational projects of Vesselina Sarieva developed since 2011 with her foundation Open Arts.
