It addresses international cultural exchanges, focusing specifically on the outgoing mobility of Maltese and Malta based artists over 18 years of age as well as their art works and cultural productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spread of Covid-19 has temporarily made travelling more difficult. However, it has given digital cultural exchanges an enormous boost. This scheme addresses this by allowing artists to exchange their art works not only physically but also digitally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
