Adrian Mamo has been appointed chairman of the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts (MCCA) by Tourism and Culture Minister Francis Zammit Dimech.
He succeeds Hans Cauchi.
The council is responsible for Malta's cultural policy, in particular in the sphere of visual and performing arts. The council has over the last year been promoting more high-calibre events that not only promote culture and the arts but also add value to the Malta product for the benefit of Maltese and visitors alike.
New initiatives have included the revamped Summer Arts Festival at the Old Opera House ruins and events such as Notte Bianca and Notte Magica.
Mr Mamo is an architect and civil engineer by profession.
