il-lokal is supporting a growing community of local artists and creators experimenting with zines and self-publishing as a form of self-expression, activism, and art.

Once again we have teamed up with Café Society in Valletta to put on an art show to remember! This exhibition has no clear theme, like queerness it refuses to be put into boxes and defined - so surprise us with your unbridled creativity and help us celebrate what makes us all unique!
Karta+Stampa is an independent art market focused on print media and art prints. It is designed to introduce the public to the art form of printmaking whilst also promoting local printmakers, zine makers and illustrators while providing a platform for both emerging creatives and established professionals to engage with the public. Through this event we wish to promote a diverse, friendly community for both the artists and the public right here in Malta.
The Malta Community of Illustrators is thrilled to announce the call for submissions for its fifth publication, The Malta Community of Illustrators Annual 2025.
