The first open art exhibition in Malta is at the Marsa-Ħamrun Bypass

Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Capital Projects Ian Borg together with Minister for Education Justyne Caruana opened the first open art exhibition in our country. This exhibition is located in the Marsa-Ħamrun Bypass and was held after a collaboration between Infrastructure Malta and MCAST.
This exhibition includes 10 large frames in which the artistic work of the students of the Institute for Creative Arts at MCAST can be exhibited. Eventually this exhibition will also be open to both local and even international artists, so that they can exhibit their work in a place that sees thousands of drivers every day.
A new art space at a lay-by on the Marsa-Ħamrun bypass was inaugurated on Wednesday, featuring artwork created by MCAST students and staff.
The area is Malta’s first outdoor exhibition space and follows along the recently installed 350-metre vertical garden covering the retaining walls of the southbound carriageway on the seven-lane bypass.
It features ten large square frames which currently hold works created by students and lecturers at the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology. Artwork will be changed every six months, with the plan being to eventually open the space up to other local and foreign artists for exhibition as well.
