Art Exhibition: Gateways and Portals
2026-01-25 12:00 - 17:45, 2026-02-01 12:00 - 17:45 (Europe/Malta) | Chrysalis Studio, Viviani Court, Mġarr Road, Ix-Xewkija
Planet Earth is entering 2026, a change that is both cosmical and cultural in nature as it is global and local. A time marked by various traditions and celebrations throughout history, the first quarter of the year features New Year’s Eve fireworks, Holi, the Lunar (or Chinese) New Year, Carnival/Mardi Gras, and the March Equinox. The names of the first months of the year reflect themes of beginnings, purification, and renewal from ancient Roman culture.
Gateways and Portals invites visitors to pause at the threshold of time, season, and meaning. This is where endings dissolve and new beginnings take form. This exhibition itself is a portal: a moment to cross, reflect, and step consciously into what is emerging.
Able to be viewed in-person or virtually, it aims to celebrate the various aspects of the first quarter of the new year. It explores the elements of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, Blue and Orange, and Celestial Spheres and Chinese Mythology, with each category revealing something about the mysterious world of gateways and portals.
This exhibition includes art works, fine art photography, as well as ceramics, by the following participating artists:

Carri C. – acrylic and mixed-media paintings
Christine Mizzi – tattoo art, candles, ceramics, acrylic and watecolour paintings
Hel. A. Crafts – needle-felted framed works
Loving Gozo Arts – acrylic paintings and découpaged artisanal items
Marisa Warwick – paintings in oil and watercolour
Richie’s Nature Photography – fine art photography
Shaun McGrath – fine art photography

Private viewings are available by appointment at no extra cost.

The Maltese Cinderella And Her Sisters
2026-01-26 08:30 - 20:00, 2026-01-27 08:30 - 20:00, 2026-01-28 08:30 - 20:00, 2026-01-29 08:30 - 20:00 | Xewkija Windmill, 8 Triq Il-Mitħna, Ix-Xewkija, Gozo, Malta
Starting from the fairytale il-Germudija, the Maltese Cinderella, once told by Marija of Xewkija to Veronica Veen, will be endeavoured to create your own, individual fairytale. This can go deeper than you would think. Besides, we should not forget that fairytales are a specific literary genre with its own background, demands, and layered symbolism.
This workshop will be held on the occasion and and at the venue of the exhibition The Maltese Cinderella and her Sisters, based on Veronica’s groundbreaking and award-winning book “The Maltese Cinderella and the women’s storytelling tradition.”
Completely different from the classical Cinderellas, this superb Gozitan variant features a heroine who is a self-conscious and energetic maid, who knowns without the usual ‘helping animals’ or godmother/fairy to ‘conquer’ the heart of a somewhat timid son of the rich household, so not a King or Prince. The story, with its independent and wise heroine-against-all-odds, still conveys a clear message for women today.

2026-01-31 09:00 - 17:00, 2026-02-01 09:00 - 17:00 | Il-Ħaġar Gozo Museum, Triq il-Karita`, Il-Belt Victoria, Gozo, Malta
This solo exhibition meditates on light in times of grief, hope, memory, celebration, and the mundane. The body of work on display reflects on how light weaves through humanity’s lived experience.
Azzopardi is drawn to the presence of light in two primary spaces: the home and the expanse of the sea. Indoors, it transforms a space into a sanctuary; outdoors, the sea’s surface mirrors this play of light, constantly shifting. In her practice, Azzopardi explores how these motifs serve as metaphors for her own experiences of light. Her work embodies its presence, offering a sense of refuge – a pause amid life’s flux. The exhibition captures these fleeting moments, reminding us that, in a world of constant change, light remains an anchor for reflection.
