We\u2019re now in its fifth year, and I\u2019m looking forward to see the outcomes brough along with such an initiative, within the sector. Through all of this, we continued to regenerate and grow, in order to have a sustainable, accessible sector, catering for the continued strengthening od professionalisation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albert Marshall, Executive Chairman of Arts Council Malta stated that,  \u201cas Arts Council, we be the aim and target to continue working towards the strengthening of the platform of artists, cultural practitioners and the culture and creative sectors, and the Premju g\u0127all-Arti is an essential link in the Council\u2019s chain of initiatives, projects and opportunities, which give us the opportunity to do so. Thanks to this initiative, we can continue to award the various forms of art and different genres , whilst also building upon our continuous community outreach as a Council.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
