Bank of Valletta’s commitment to promote local talent is again in evidence with the publication of the BOV 2007 calendar, which features works of art by 13 Maltese women artists. All the works of art in this calendar form part of Bank of Valletta’s art collection that is on display in the bank’s branches and offices.

The artists represented in the 2007 BOV Calendar are Sandra Copperstone with her painting entitled “At Rest” featured on the front cover and the 12 other artists are featured on each of the 12 months – from January to December. These are (in chronological order) Monica Spiteri, Anna Grima, Catherine Cavallo, Isabelle Borg, Jeni Caruana, Josette Caruana, Sina Farrugia, Madeleine Gera, Mary Depiro, Ruth Bianco, Nicola Vassallo and Joanne Schembri. The works of art selected vary from oils to watercolours, acrylic, wood, ceramic and resin based on glass.

Bank of Valletta hopes this calendar will widen the appreciation of Maltese art and a vehicle to showcase local talent. The focus on Maltese women artists also reflects the bank’s appreciation of women’s contribution to the local arts scene.
