The Artist in Residence theme for 2025 – Pax Kultura – aims to provide a platform for reflection, innovation, and connection across different artistic fields with the overarching aim of providing a point of encounter between the arts, culture, and peace.

The Artist in Residence is expected to do the following:
- Develop an artistic project which includes reference to Malta, and/or includes direct collaboration with a local artist
- Deliver lectures, talks and/or lead workshops for students, local artists and interested persons identified by the Culture Directorate
- Establish an active network across physical borders, artistic disciplines and demographic constrains
Eligibility
The call is open for established and emerging artists with a minimum of two years of proven experience in their respective field. The call invites participation by artists hailing from across different regions, in particular artists hailing from countries with a recent history of armed conflict and/or political instability directly impacting their work and freedom of expression.
