Notte Bianca

So Notte Bianca is here again. Tonight, Valletta will be host to a spectacular nocturnal celebration of people, culture and arts. I will be in Valletta tonight too, most of the time at Gallery Pi, if you want a glass of wine please pop over and come and say hello. Will go for a visit to Vee Gee Bee too, there is a large canvas on which people are invited to paint on. I already started off the painting and am very keen to see where it will end. 

Another activity I wish to visit is the Milonga organised by the Argentine Tango local community. It will be held at stage 33 near Strait Street from 7pm onwards. DJ for the night is David Bonnici. Also, today kicks off Malta Design Week with a number of  installations/exhibitions all over Valletta. For more info about Malta Design Week visit HERE. There are numerous other things i would like to see but the list is too long to mention, for more info about Notte Bianca please visit http://www.maltaculture.com

Gallery Pi @ Notte Bianca

Gallery Pi will be open throughout this year’s Notte Bianca. Join us for a chat and a glass of wine, and see some new art work which we have just received.

Getting there is easy. After crossing St. George’s Square (President’s palace) take a left turn downwards into Archbishop Street. Keep going until you cross Old Bakery Street and a little further down is Gallery Pi on the left.

Live Painting Session at Gallery Pi.

On Saturday 18th December 2010, I will be holding a live painting session at Gallery Pi in Archbishop Street, Valletta. The idea behind the event is pretty simple; anyone interested in meeting me while working, ask questions, have a cup of coffee (or wine) or just hang around at the gallery is welcome to do so.  If there is a good response, we will be holding similar activities with different artists regularly, starting from January 2011.

The plan for this Saturday is this; while cleaning the small basement at the gallery during the refurbishment, I found 3 wood panels that one day used to be part of some doors, probably trap doors. They are in quite a battered shape. What i will try to do is to transform simple pieces of wood into works of art. Nothing new, but its always fun transforming everyday things into art (whatever art may mean). Media I intend to use are the wood panels, paint, old tubes of paint, and gold leaf.....and whatever tickles my fancy while working. 

Hope to see you there. 

Gallery Pi Open all Day Monday 13th

After a very busy day at the gallery, we have returned home with even greater enthusiasm to pursue this new venture in art. We would like to first of all thank everyone who visited us today. For those who have not managed to make it, we will open again for another full day, between 10am and 7pm, on Monday (13th, a public holiday). During the rest of the week the gallery will be open during normal shop hours.

The gallery is in Archbishop Street, Valletta, (map here  http://www.facebook.com/l/d70f4X6P6A0-MIy3a3FTHUQsiNw;on.fb.me/ezQ763).
