The Malta Society of Arts (MSA) organises an exhibition for its members every two years in the form of a collective show inspired by a common theme. The 2023 exhibition, titled The Archive: Memories & Recollections, features over 40 different artworks in various media by over 50 members who worked individually or as part of a group.
The inspiration for the exhibition is the Society’s own extensive archive of documents: letters, meeting minutes, sheet music, and anecdotes chronicling the Society’s rich 100-year history.
Most of the artworks were generated at a series of meetings, discussions and workshops held at Palazzo de la Salle.
