For the second consecutive year, Kelma Kelma and the Inspire Foundation have teamed up to create an artistic project with the hope of helping  persons with a disability.

Kelma Kelma has come up with 12 Maltese puns – one for each month of the year, while 12 local established artists have created original works of art to depict each pun.

The outcome is a 12-page A5 desk or hanging calendar in aid of the foundation. The original works are also up for auction and all money raised will go towards Inspire.

The artists taking part in the project are Nadine Noko, Hayley Acreman, Ġorg Mallia, Debbie Caruana Dingli, Mark Sciclua, Moira Zahra Scicluna, Saviour Baldacchino, Berivan Serin, Bruce Micallef Eunayd, Marisa Attard, Sam DeGaetano and Hannah Galea.

The calendar can be purchased online through Inspire’s website and will also be available for sale at MaltaPost Offices.  An exhibition of the paintings is being held at Café Elia, High Street Ħamrun. The online auction can be viewed on Inspire’s website.

Inspire helps over 1,000 individuals with various disabilities ranging from Down syndrome, autism to cerebral palsy.

The foundation offers various services and disability programmes that are offered at a highly-subsidised rate or sometimes even for free. It advocates for inclusion, educates the public and raises awareness.
