Arts Council Malta (ACM) has announced two new initiatives aimed at bolstering sustainable
and inclusive growth within Malta’s cultural and creative sectors.
Two separate collaborations with the Malta National Park and the Malta Crafts Foundation,
will see ACM working hand-in-hand with key partners to create more opportunities for
artists, craftspeople, and cultural practitioners to thrive, while engaging the public in
meaningful cultural experiences.
New Cultural Venue Open in Ta’ Qali
ACM and Ta’ Qali National Park are joining forces to provide a safe and welcoming space
where artists can meet, create, and showcase their work to diverse audiences.
The collaboration is built on a shared vision that prioritises visibility, preservation, and
innovation in the cultural and creative sectors by providing clear strategic targets that range from capacity-building initiatives to artist support programmes.
Putting the Spotlight on the Artisan Sector
The second initiative sees ACM teaming up with the Malta Crafts Foundation (MCF) to focus
on advancing the status of cultural and creative practitioners within the artisan sector. The
collaboration seeks to empower artisans while fostering innovation and sustainability within
the crafts industry.
In this respect, ACM will invest in the Premju Ġieħ l-Artiġjanat, which promotes
collaborations between artisans and designers. A further investment will be allocated to the
organisation of DesignMT, a showcase of creativity where tradition meets innovation.
