Sacred Art in Malta

Art expresssing inner feelings and a sense of faith is taken seriously in Malta.

Traditionally paintings and sculpture of events in the Bible or lives of the Saints have filled the palaces, churches and noble houses of Malta and especially Valletta, but there is now a feeling that spiritual awareness could be expressed in new and different forms and to this end the Metropolitan Cathedral in Valletta has been organising an exhibition of Sacred Art held in its dungeons and to which all artists are invited to submit, including those from abroad.
