Valletta Contemporary to host MET[A] Gala

Valletta’s iconic contemporary arts space will be holding the red carpet event of the year this December, inspired by the New York MET Gala

For the contemporary art events and exhibition space in Malta’s capital city, the evening will mark the largest fund-raiser it has pioneered to date. Teaming up with artist Charlie Cauchi, Malta’s culinary ambassador Marvin Gauci and couture designer Luke Azzopardi, the MET[A] Gala will transform Valletta Contemporary with live music, delicious food, custom cocktails and an after-party, all covered by the most coveted local publishing houses and media outlets.

“The MET[A] Gala is a great opportunity to experience the brilliance and innovation of the New York MET Gala for the first time here in Malta,” says Norbert Francis Attard, founder of Valletta Contemporary and META Foundation. “Besides having a front-row seat to some fun high-fashion innovations and enjoying the elegant surroundings, it is also your chance to become a patron of the arts and support one of Malta’s most important up-andcoming contemporary arts venues.”

As a space run by the non-profit organisation the META Foundation, Valletta Contemporary is an independent exhibition space and art gallery through which both local and international contemporary artists and the general public can express themselves and be inspired. Since opening its doors in April 2018 within a 400-yearold former warehouse, Valletta Contemporary has already elevated the Maltese contemporary art scene with numerous gala events and exclusive exhibitions.
