The Malta Crafts Foundation, in collaboration with the Golden Glitch and with the support of the Arts Council Malta, the Valletta Cultural Agency, and Spazju Kreattiv, is organising designMT – Malta’s premier design expo, a showcase of creativity where tradition meets innovation.
The first edition of designMT Expo will take place across various locations in Valletta from September 30th to October 6th, 2024, and will feature a diverse collection of contemporary design pieces that highlight the perfect blend of functionality and style. Each item will be carefully selected for its relevance to both modern living and cultural significance, showcasing how design continues to shape our everyday experiences.
Accompanied by discussions on the multi-faceted aspects of design and contemporary trends, this event will be a vibrant showcase of the finest in regional design, honouring our rich heritage while exploring innovative advancements in the field.
With the aim of giving the event an international dimension and celebrating the bridges that design helps to build between different communities, designMT Expo is also inviting Cultural Centres to participate by featuring design pieces from their respective countries.
