School of Art Council Elections

My name is Vincent Cassar. And I am currently in the final year of the Advanced Course in Visual Arts at the Malta School of Art. I have attended the school for more than 5 years and was also a member of the previous School Council. I believe that there is always something new to learn in life and there is always room for improvement. With these two principles in mind I feel I can contribute to this school to promote artistic skills in the Maltese population. I try to create daily and assist where I can. You can help me to help make this school better.

I am Stephania Micallef and I am currently following the course in Printmaking Techniques at the Malta School of Art. I am a visual artist who loves to experiment with printmaking techniques and minimal aesthetics. I am also fascinated by the human figure and have studied the forms of living moving structures. I have furthered my artistic and design studies at the University of Malta and graduated in 2019. Being part of the council at School of art will enable me to be part of decisions in the organisation of local art activities.

My name is Laurette Tong and I am currently following the 3rd year sculpture open class at the Malta School of Art. My interest in art dates back from my youth and I started attending painting lessons around twenty-two years ago at school. However, my real passion is pottery and ceramics, which I have had the opportunity to study under various local artists.

My name is Evangeline Azzopardi and I am 44 years old. I am married and have three children. My eldest, Gabriel, has been attending MAVC for the past two years. I am a teacher at a secondary school and I love reading. I have al- ways been fascinated by art and artists and hope to have the opportunity to try my hand at art in the future.

My name is Dion Buhagiar Said, parent of Alexander, who is currently attending the Malta School of Art. I was born Canadian 45 years ago and lived in Malta for too long to go back! I consider myself a creative person with particular interest in visual arts.

I am Ann Marie Fenech. My son attends the MAVC Malta School of Art and I take an active interest in his wellbeing and his peers. I am a youth worker by profession and a strong believer in extracurricular activities that delve away from the mainstream education. If COVID has taken away much it has given us the opportunity and ample time to use different media to express our artistic side. I might not be a Picasso or Monet yet I love creating crafts and painting. It is my go to place when I’m stressed or tired.

Stephanie Grech Mallia is the mother of a 10 year old boy who has been attending the school for the last 3 years. I am Support Procure- ment Officer and an Undergraduate at MCAST. I am also an actor and I have worked in several local films, television series and theatre productions. I strongly believe that art is essential for our well-being and the best medium to communicate. Art helps us grow and ex- press our emotions freely. I believe that with my experience I can help the council to achieve its goals and commitments.
