A three-day art fair to be held in May will showcase some of Malta's finest art while also raising money for a charitable cause. 

The Malta Art Fair will feature more than 50 booths across 2,000 square metres at the MFCC grounds in Ta' Qali, with all profits going to aid ALS Malta. 

It will showcase classic to contemporary art, art related products and services and light entertainment, with original works ranging in price from €5 and going up to the thousands. 

The fair is being organised by ALS Malta with the support of Arts Council Malta and the Maltese EU Council presidency. 

Admission to the fair will be free-of-charge, although donations to ALS Malta will be accepted at the door.

Artists, galleries and other art-related companies have until April 15 to apply to take part. 

"The Malta Art Fair will make art more accessible to the public and introduce local and foreign artists to the visiting public," said ALS Malta chairman Bjorn Formosa. 

"This will be a great occasion for our nation to embrace the talent we have and continue to contribute towards our cause to find a cure for ALS patients."

Arts Council chairman Albert Marshall said the fair was an opportunity to invest in promoting art while providing "a human face to the [EU Council] presidency by donating to the noble cause that the foundation has embarked upon".

He added, "ACM's motto is oħlom oħloq [dream, create]: in Bjorn, the Council has found the incarnation of its vision and mission".

The Malta Art Fair will be held between May 19 and 21 at the MFCC in Ta' Qali. For more information, visit the fair website, Facebook event page or email info@alsmalta.org.
