ADVISORY, PRODUCTION & TRAINING FOR THE CULTURAL & CREATIVE SECTORS
Featured Project
International showcase 2020
We are excited to launch our first edition of the Culture Venture international showcase!
As part of our commitment to internationalise Malta’s arts scene and to enhance Malta’s profile in cultural diplomacy and cultural relations, we have curated a small selection of artistic works from small to medium scale projects, which are currently in repertoire and promoted by Culture Venture.
9 projects by 40 professional artists from Malta, in music, dance and visual arts, showcase a contemporary outlook of Malta, its neighbourhood and the multiple identities that challenge our own narratives. The selected projects and artists involved in the showcase merit due consideration for cultural diplomacy projects, festivals or new collaborations with international artists.
Together with our international partners we want to continue pushing creative boundaries and support Maltese artists reach new heights, through an engaging, collaborative and intercultural process.
WHAT WE DO
Together with our international partners we work with you to support the creative and strategic growth of your organisation, city, region or country. With a client portfolio ranging from international cultural agencies and Ministries of Culture to small arts organisations and individual artists, we provide bespoke consultancy services that help shape your vision into deliverable actions for the cultural and creative sectors. Current advisory work includes the development of regional cultural strategies and the drafting of a new national cultural policy for Malta.
Culture Venture produces artistic projects in the performing and visual arts. Consider us your one-stop-shop to make your artistic project a successful venture. The production portfolio includes Diablo y Angel, a concert celebrating the work of Astor Piazzolla, Unforgettable by Tenor Nico Darmanin, Verbi: Mill-Bieb 'il Ġewwa, a promenade performance art event by Barumbara Collective and Parallel Existences, a photography exhibition by Alex Attard.
We support young and young-at-heart cultural managers in their continuous professional development through short courses and leadership seminars. Culture Venture is currently leading the first specialised cultural production training for Malta's public sector.
