Opening on the 5th September at 7.00 till the 12th September

The upcoming exhibition at Art by the Seaside Gallery in Senglea is not just another art event; it's a reflection of the Gallery's ethos, one that embraces the broad spectrum of artistic expression without boundaries and limitations. This exhibition brings together ten established local artists, three emerging talents, and one international artist - showcasing a blend of mastery, innovation and fresh perspective that are often overlooked in the Maltese  art scene. With this conceived philosophy, the gallarists are offering  an artistic platform where artists come together to share their works with an audience eager for something new and inspiring. What sets this exhibition apart is the diversity of the artists and their creations. While there is no overarching theme, this was a deliberate choice. They wanted to give each artist the freedom to present work that best represents their current journey. This approach has resulted in an eclectic mix of art forms, ranging from traditional wall-hung artworks to innovative free-standing ceramics and intricate wire sculptures.


Visitors can expect to see a wide array of artistic expression, each piece a testament to the unique vision of the artist behind it. Some of the participating artists have exhibited at Art by the Seaside before and have garnered significant attention and success. Others are new to the Gallary.  Participating artists are Deborah Marmara, Johanna Barthet, Alison Agius, Edoardo La Francesca, Kevin Sciberras, Antonio Mifsud, Trevor Diacono, Richard Saliba, Matthew Kassar and Luca Cauchi. As for the emerging artists, those participating are Milena Scicluna, Ylenia Schembri, Leah Attard and the international Armenian artist Karen Akhikyan.

This exhibition will only run for a week  -  5th to 12th September - and coincides with the village feast, thus adding an extra layer of cultural richness to the visit.
