Viva, the Valletta International Visual Arts Festival 2014, was inaugurated yesterday with the unveiling of three main works, Żieme by Austin Camilleri, Power Exchange by JP Azzopardi and Michael Camilleri, and Genesis by Victor Agius.

The Viva programme includes a number of events starting tomorrow, with most exhibitions and works inaugurated this week being on display throughout September. The exhibitions are located in Valletta at St James Cavalier Centre for Creativity, Heritage Malta (Melita Street), Pjazza Teatru Rjal and the National Museum of Fine Arts.

Artistic director Raphael Vella said that “at its inception, the festival can already boast an exciting line-up which brings together local and international artists and curators. This shows the great potential for this festival to continue developing from strength to strength in years to come.”

Viva is being co-organised by St. James Cavalier Centre for Creativity, the Arts Council Malta, the Valletta 2018 Foundation and Aġenzija Żgħażagħ. Further information can be found on www.viva.org.mt.
