The International Participation Scheme forms part of Arts Council Malta’s Internationalisation Strategy for the cultural and creative sectors. It addresses the outgoing mobility of Maltese and Malta based artists over 18 years of age as well as their art works and cultural productions.
The objective of the International Participation Scheme is to support the mobility of artists and cultural operators to create, to showcase and to expose their works to international audiences and to receive international feedback, to explore, to develop skills, to build networks, and to engage in international collaborations.
This scheme supports:
• Participation in international festivals, exhibitions, showcases, international networking events, films, conferences, artist residencies and fairs.

The resource pack is aimed at increasing awareness regarding inclusivity and supporting the implementation of cultural rights in our day-to-day practice.

The Charter for the Status of the Artist is meant to provide a dynamic frame of reference for any legislation, policy, or initiative which directly or indirectly impacts artists and cultural and creative sectors, ensuring that any action is aligned with the ultimate long-term vision of elevating the status of artists in Malta in line with their tangible value to society.
