Sidea Foundation

SIDEA Foundation is a leading non-profit organisation, operated in the field of art and culture, headquartered in Varna, Bulgaria, and is the parent company of RADAR Festival Beyond Music.

The principles which lead us are: the decentralisation of cultural life in Bulgaria; involving and educating new audiences; socialising disadvantaged people through art; stimulating cultural diversity and intercultural exchange. The core of SIDEA’s portfolio is RADAR FESTIVAL, a three day event taking place annually in Varna since 2014.

Our goal is to promote music projects that coherently collaborate with a wide variety of artistic forms such as film, video art, spoken word, contemporary theatre and dance, and probably the most creative sector of our modern life - technology. Our RADAR detects cross-points between different music genres and trends, and at the same time between music and other forms of art.

Our RADAR seeks creativity, which goes beyond traditional frames; explores the pure artistic expression and assists in the process of developing authentic experiences. RADAR`s platform represents brave and innovative ideas through concerts, performances, discussions, workshops and ateliers for all – kids and elders, professionals and art lovers. RADAR creates space for powerful encounter with а new aesthetic.
