On a warm summer Sofia night, ARCS hosted the "Flying Folk", a friendly and expandable circle of poets and prose writers aimed at reading poems and literary samples, discussing, offering advice, inspiring, poking fun and sometimes cringing at what was read. Founded by ARCS Director, Eric De Sena, Ancuta Maries and local poet Valentin Krustev, about 25 flying folk filled the lecture room. One of the highlights was a reading by poet Tanya Koliovska in Bulgarian with a simultaneous English translation by the film producer, Ben Bedo Manoukian. In the audience was one of ARCS's first Fellows (2007), Eran Livni, a musicologist currently teaching in Virginia.
