Arts Council Malta is pleased to announce a collaboration with Fondazzjoni Kreattività with the aim of encouraging children and young adults to pursue their interests in artistic work in Malta and abroad, while providing opportunities to further emerging creatives' professional training and networks.
The agreement will see Arts Council Malta putting in a total investment of €30,000. Of this, €20,000 will fund a collective exhibition, featuring over 12 artists, as part of the Spazju Kreattiv and ŻiguŻajg International Arts Festival for Children and Young People programmes, with Fondazzjoni Kreattività contributing a further €15,000. The collaboration will also see both organisations co-organising workshops and educational events focusing on the exhibition theme and creative art techniques throughout the exhibition.
Additionally, The Council will invest €10,000 in the Incubator, a mentoring programme for EU project writing produced by the European Network for Cultural Centre (ENCC). This 4-day initiative will involve over 35 creative professionals and feature mentorship from 6 international experts.
Both initiatives will be jointly managed by Arts Council Malta and Fondazzjoni Kreattività with the aim of engaging children and young adults with contemporary art while safeguarding the sustainability of the creative sector by offering educational and professional development opportunities.
Chief Operations Officer Funding and Strategy Mary Ann Cauchi said: “This agreement is another important step towards implementing Malta’s cultural strategy. It addresses the main pillars prioritised by Strategy2025, strengthening collaborations between cultural organisations and artists and practitioners, while also directing public investment towards education. Mentorship programmes like Incubator play a crucial role in this, helping us support the professional development of artists, empowering them to flourish in their cultural and creative practice.”
The Executive Chairman of Fondazzjoni Kreattività Rupert Cefai stated that "this agreement marks a crucial collaboration between Arts Council Malta and Fondazzjoni Kreattività. Central to Fondazzjoni Kreattività's mission is the cultivation of strong partnerships with cultural organisations, artists, and creatives. Initiatives like the Incubator, hosted at Spazju Kreattiv, play a key role in this mission, as they not only nurture the professional growth of artists but also equip them with the tools and confidence to excel in their creative and cultural endeavours."
The exhibition will run between November 8 and January 5, 2025, as part of the Spazju Kreattiv and ŻiguŻajg International Arts Festival for Children and Young People programmes organised by Fondazzjoni Kreattività, with accompanying workshops and events.
