A panto held in pitch darkness to recreate the experience of blindness, a theatre project with women caught in exploitative circumstances and performances by young people with a disability are among projects that will benefit from the Il-Premju tal-President għall-Kreattività.

Other projects include a visual arts project with mental health patients, a theatre project which brings together sexual orientation and spirituality and a project with domestic violence survivors.

A total of 10 projects will receive around €62,000 through the Il-Premju tal-President għall-Kreattività, an arts fund with a strong social and community emphasis. The beneficiaries were announced during an awards ceremony held at San Anton Palace.

The award is linked to the implementation of Arts Council Malta’s goals outlined in the Council’s Create 2020 strategy, with a particular focus on providing more opportunities for people to engage in creativity.

The President of Malta Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca said that the award brought together creativity, innovation, culture and eagerness for solidarity, support and inclusion. She said she looked forward to the continuation of the project in the coming years, for more empowerment and resilience.

Il-Premju tal-President għall-Kreattività is managed jointly by the Office of the President and Arts Council Malta.
