Arts Council Malta (ACM), in line with its vision to support new home-grown work, has partnered with the Mediterranean Conference Centre (MCC). This partnership will provide stable support for an organisation to plan ahead, grow, develop and deliver ACM’s strategic goals, and primarily addresses creative professionals and the development of new Musical Theatre work in the Maltese language.

The aims of the partnership are in line with Arts Council Malta’s objectives to:

  1. Nurture creative potential and support its development into professional activity
  2. Invest in artistic excellence
  3. Provide more opportunities for people to engage in creativity
  4. Develop new, relevant work in the Maltese language
