The Malta Crafts Foundation has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Arts Council Malta that paves the way for enhanced collaboration with the aim of advancing the status of cultural and creative practitioners based in Malta, particularly those involved within the artisan sector.
Signed by Mr Elton Micallef and Ms Mary Ann Cauchi, respectively Chief Executive Officer at the Malta Crafts Foundation and Chief Operations Officer (Funding & Strategy) at Arts Council Malta, the MOU consolidates the relationship between the two entities, which have agreed to design and implement policies and measures in support of enterprise and practices originating or impacting the arts and artisan sectors.
As a memento to commemorate the signing the MOU, Mr Micallef also presented Ms Cauchi with a copy of the Artisanal Gifts Catalogue produced by the Malta Crafts Foundation, which brings together a collection of local artisans who can help with creating that unique, high-quality gift for any occasion.
