ArtHall in Gozo

  • Triq G.P.F Aguis De Soldanis, Ir-Rabat Għawdex, Malta

ArtHall is located on the second largest of the Maltese archipelago. Although the exhibition space is relatively small, the curation is among the most interesting and diverse on the islands. In fact, many visitors would say the ferry ride from Malta is worth it for this stop alone. ArtHall positions itself as one of Malta’s more outspoken contemporary art spaces. The gallery motto is “Let art find you.” According to founder Marta Obiols Fornell, the mission is simple: promote, experiment and—most importantly—have fun with contemporary art in all its expressions. ArtHall champions provocative, honest and often ironic contemporary practices, favoring work that questions social norms rather than affirms them. The gallery particularly values work that intersects with philosophy, literature and music, and the curatorial tone leans toward the avant-garde, with an emphasis on critical engagement and conceptual clarity over decorative appeal.
