1. An exhibition of some of the best works by Maltese pioneers of modern art, Emvin Cremona and Willie Apap, was inaugurated recently at St Joseph’s band club, Ghajnsielem. The exhibition, themed ‘Sacred Arts,’ featured several exhibits from private collections.

Speeches were made by Gozo Minister Giovanna Debono, MP Anton Refalo, art critic Mark Sagona and band club president Gino Cauchi. Minister Chris Said was also present.

The exhibition was blessed by Ghajnsielem Archpriest Canon Frankie Bajada.

2. Twenty youngsters from the Zghazagh Nazzarenu group of Sliema, along with their spiritual director Fr Charles Tabone, OP, recently spent four days doing voluntary work at the Arka Respite Centre at Ghajnsielem.

The group carried out maintenance works that included servicing to the air-conditioning system and a number of vehicles, help in the running of the kitchen and cleaning of the complex and a substantial amount of whitewashing of the three-storey building.

The group also had the opportunity to help with caring for clients. Dar Arka director Mgr Emanuel Curmi said the youths carried out invaluable work. Substantial savings were made thanks to this kind gesture, as thousands of euro are needed to provide accommodation to hundreds of people with disability throughout the year.

3. Mosaic artist Mary Portelli is one of several artists commissioned to create works in the public art initiative, launched by eco-Gozo last year, 13.5-metre mural at Mgarr terminal.
