Spazju Kreattiv
Spazju Kreattiv is Malta’s National Centre for Creativity. Established by Fondazzjoni Kreattività in the year 2000, our home is in St James Cavalier, Valletta, a 16th-century fort.
In essence, we are a programme of creative arts and culture events that take place primarily across Malta and Gozo. We host a range of exhibition spaces, a cinema, a theatre-inthe-round, an artist in residence programme, and operate a number of festivals, including ?igu?ajg. Our ethos is ‘Il-Qalba tal-Kreattività’ (The Heart of Creativity), from which the artistic vision for the upcoming years is established. The current vision is based on three pillars: Artistic Excellence, Community Outreach and Internationalisation. All projects and creatives working and showcasing their work at Spazju Kreattiv reflect these core principles.
