As part of its 25^th anniversary celebrations, Middlesea Insurance p.l.c. is holding an exhibition entitled ‘25 Years of Maltese Art.’

The exhibition, which pays tribute to Maltese art, will be opened by Prime Minister Dr Lawrence Gonzi on 12 July 2006.

Speaking about the exhibition, Middlesea Group Chairman and CEO, Mr Mario C. Grech, stressed the importance the Company has placed on supporting Maltese art since its inception 25 years ago.

“This has been achieved mainly through the Company’s annual calendars which portray the works of local artists, through the sponsorship of art exhibitions and by means of purchasing original works of art by living artists in order to embellish Middlesea’s head office in Floriana,” Mr Grech pointed out.

The art exhibition will display works of 25 renowned Maltese artists. These include: Caesar Attard, Paul Haber, Frank Portelli, Isabelle Borg, Alfred Camilleri, Alfred Chircop, Gabriel Caruana, Harry Alden, Antoine Camilleri, Carmenu Mangion, Anthony Calleja, Pawl Carbonaro, Anthony Spagnol, Salvu Mallia, Josette Caruana, Vince Briffa, Neville Ferry, Ray Pitre’, Luciano Micallef, Marco Cremona, Norbert Francis Attard, Austin Camilleri, John Grima, Richard England and Patrick Fenech.

On occasion of the exhibition, Middlesea Insurance is also publishing a commemorative catalogue, which places the exhibited works in their historic context.

‘25 Years of Maltese Art’ is being held at Middle Sea House, Floriana, from 13 to 22 July, from 5 to 9 pm.
