A group of artists, inspired by Gozo’s beauty, have decided to ‘get on the same canvas’ to help the Inspire Foundation.

The 12 artists, all connected to the sister island in some form, donated an original work of art, and proceeds from their sales will go towards Inspire Foundation’s disability services and programmes.

The paintings are now being exhibited at the Banca Giuratale in Rabat, Gozo, and can be viewed and bought online through a visit to www.inspire.org.mt.

The exhibition, entitled Love Gozo, features art by Pawl Carbonaro, Debbie Caruana Dingli, James Vella Clark, Rachel Galea, Celia Borg Cardona, Julian Calabrese, George Scicluna, Tonio Mallia, Henry Alamango, Galina Troizky, Marisa Attard and Mark Sagona.

The exhibition will run until June 30 and is supported by the Malta Tourism Authority, the Ministry for Tourism, Mapfre MSV Life, the Gozo Culture and Information Office and the Ministry for Gozo.

According to Inspire Foundation, the artists have come together to offer the public an experience of art which is guaranteed to make a difference in the lives of those who need it the most.

“Inspire believes that everyone has a right to equality and inclusion. Our mission is to try to help everyone with a disability achieve this.

“We do this by providing individuals and their families with educational, therapeutic and leisure services,” the foundation said.

“We also advocate for inclusion, educate the general public, raise awareness among peers, and hold the best knowledge base on disability on the island.

“Today, Inspire helps over 1,000 individuals with various disabilities including Down syndrome, autism and cerebral palsy. We do this through many services and disability programmes, offered at a highly subsidised rate or sometimes even for free.”
