Call for Series of BookMarks

Arts Council Malta, in collaboration with the Malta Community of Illustrators, is launching a unique opportunity for six illustrators to bring their creative vision to life. This call for artists seeks to showcase the talent, diversity, and vibrancy of Malta’s artistic community by designing a series of bookmarks that visually represent Arts Council Malta’s key strategic areas.

Late applications will not be accepted.

We are committed to fostering a thriving artistic ecosystem where different voices and styles can shine. This project aims to not only highlight the strategic priorities of Arts Council Malta but also to celebrate the rich tapestry of Malta’s creative talent. Each bookmark will serve as a canvas for illustrators to express their unique artistic language while engaging with themes that resonate with our cultural landscape.

We are seeking illustrators with distinct, diverse styles to contribute to this dynamic project, creating designs that will captivate, inspire, and reflect the multifaceted nature of our arts community. Whether your work is bold and contemporary or rooted in traditional techniques, we want to see your interpretation of our strategic themes. This collaboration aims to elevate the role of illustrators, turning each bookmark into a small piece of art that communicates the values and ambitions of Malta’s cultural sector.

This is a chance to make your mark—literally and figuratively—on a project that aligns with the Council’s vision of accessibility, inclusion, and support for the arts. We invite you to be part of this celebration of artistic excellence and cultural diversity.
