Allura’s projects and events involve artists, charities, sponsors, educational and ecclesiastical institutions, hotels, retailers, brands and other stakeholders. Allura understands that art-lovers are no longer interested purely in the finished artwork, but also in the artists themselves and the stories behind their work. This project is designed to impart artistic knowledge, skills and the artistic process to other artists, art students and the public. With a variety of genres, styles, concepts, and techniques, the final production will also serve as a learning resource in schools and ultimately preserve Malta’s finest contemporary artists after their lifetime for future generations to enjoy.
Allura
Showcasing and developing creative talent with a special focus on the visual arts, and through the principle of open studios and sharing the artists’ creative process. The Melita Foundation is supporting Allura in the production of a series of ‘edutainment’ videos in which leading artists share their creative process through entertaining and educational content.
Working together for a better future
Since our launch in 2020, The Melita Foundation has supported dozens of projects run by many diverse organisations. Project beneficiaries range from the very young to the very young-at-heart, from the the very local – such as supporting STEM skills development for school children in the Three Cities – to projects which will have an impact beyond our borders: supporting extensive tree planting; developing skills in maritime law and conservation; preserving parts of our heritage entwined with our diaspora.
