ART EXHIBITION 2019
CALL TO VISUAL ARTISTS
The Malta Stock Exchange will be organizing a collective art exhibition open to the public from 20th September 2019. The exhibition will be held at the Exchange premises in the Garrison Chapel, Castille Square, Valletta.
This year’s thematic art exhibition investigates the effects of standardization produced by globalization. It creates indifferences that can be described as a rise in recognizable qualities that reduce characteristic differences in our daily lives.
Visual artists based in Malta wishing to participate in this unique event are invited to submit work related to the theme. For further details on applications and terms and conditions refer to the website link below.
For any updates please refer to the Malta Stock Exchange website: http://www.borzamalta.com.mt/art.
