The Malta International Contemporary Art Space (MICAS) aims to elevate Malta’s cultural landscape by creating a platform for contemporary art with global connections. It features world-class exhibitions, promoting both local and international artists. As a Government of Malta legacy project, MICAS combines state-funded restoration of historic fortifications with independent governance, aiming to positively impact the Euro-Mediterranean cultural sphere. Part-funded by the EU, it seeks to enhance public appreciation of contemporary visual arts as vital to modern life.
