Laguna Walk at SmartCity Malta recently hosted the Malta Artisan Market for the first time at its breath-taking premises. The fair welcomed an excellent turnout of around 1,000 visitors who flocked to the new events hub in the south of Malta to attend the various stalls set up for the evening of 6th July,.

The exhibitors on the day included: Alvalenti, Angela Demarco, Cristal Chic Jewelery, Dragonlord Creations, Ela’s Creations, Judith Thomas Jewellery, Kevin Attard, Mette Lorenzen, New Eggsperience, Novelty Woodworks, Rita’s Beading Boutique, RTG Jewels, Saliba’s Gold & Silversmith, Stephanie Borg and Terra Vita.

Since its inception, the Malta Artisan Market has actively sought out exciting and beautiful locations to host its prestigious events around Malta, including Vittoriosa, Senglea, Kalkara, Palazzo de Piro, Mdina, Valletta and the Phoenicia Hotel and now, SmartCity Malta where the arts community in Malta can set up shop from an evening to a weekend. 

The Malta Artisan Market was set up from Vittoriosa three years ago in May 2011 with the sole aim of providing a space and showcase for local talent – that pertaining to the thriving arts and crafts scene. Through these markets tourists and Maltese alike can buy genuine locally produced and affordable items directly from food producers, artists and craftspeople. Whether it is a jar of home-made chutney you are after or an exquisite painting, an interesting piece of ceramics or a unique piece of jewellery, the Malta Artisan Market has it all.

Speaking about the fair at Laguna Walk, Lisa Grech, founder of Malta Artisan Markets said, “Visitors were amazed by the new development at SmartCity Malta and its potential as an open-air space, as they were by the differing stalls offering a variety of crafts. The Laguna Walk at SmartCity Malta provided a stunning and impressive setting for our fair.”

The Malta Artisan Market is organised by The Definitive(ly) Good Guide Co – publishers of The Definitive(ly) Good Guide to Restaurants in Malta & Gozo and The Malta Baby and Kids directory. The fair is an excellent selling point for established artists and craftspeople as it is for enterprising individuals.

The next fair will be held on Saturday 2nd August between 6pm & 11p at Palazzo Parisio in Naxxar. For more information, kindly visit www.maltaartisanmarkets.com or follow the ‘Malta Artisan Markets’ Facebook page.
