Kelma Kelma and The Inspire Foundation team up with 12 superb artists to bring you an art experience, which is guaranteed to make a difference in the lives of people who need it the most.

Twelve talented and generous artists created an original work of art to represent a particular month of the year, and to accompany a traditional Maltese proverb provided by Kelma Kelma.

The paintings were donated to Inspire and are featured in a 2017 calendar that's being sold in aid of the Inspire Foundation. The 12-page, A5 hanging or desk calendar can be purchased online through Inspire's website for €6.50 which includes postage to Malta and Gozo.

The 12 original works are also up for auction and are being sold to raise funds for Inspire. An exhibition of the paintings is being held at Hilltop Gardens in Triq L-Inkwina, Naxxar until 3 December. During this time the online auction will also be open for bidding.

The featuring artists are Marisa Attard, Steve Bonello, Ġorg Mallia, Debbie Caruana Dingli, Nadine Noko, C. S. Lawrence, Mark Scicluna, Moira Zahra Scicluna, Saviour Baldacchino, Berivan Serin, Sam Degaetano and Hayley Acreman.

The Inspire Foundation and Kelma Kelma would like to thank its partners and sponsors Il-Kunsill Nazzjonali tal-Ilsien Malti, Malta Tourism Authority, il-Kummissjoni Ewropea, Mapfre Middlesea, Maltapost, Gemelli Framing and VeeGeeBee Art, for helping to make this innovative project a reality.
