Artists from around the world are displaying their work in the second International Art Exhibition after answering a global artist call that was launched by Christine X Art Gallery in Sliema.
As in last year’s edition, the invitation had one particular brief: the artists had to produce 20x20cm works. Over 120 artists applied, out of whom 30 were chosen to exhibit their artworks. These include 17 Maltese artists and 13 others from the rest of Europe, Africa and Asia.
