Exhibitions in Gozo
Gozo is an island rich with talented artists who put up exhibitions to showcase their works. Most of these exhibitions include paintings, sculptures, photographs or any other work of art by local artists.
Others may be of private collections, such as stamps. Some artists hold their exhibition as a solo, whilst others join forces and hold their exhibition together as a group.
These exhibitions would be held in different places around the island such as in the Banca Giuratale in Rabat, the Gozo Ministry Hall, Local Council Halls, Museums (such as Il-Ħaġar), in private exhibition halls as well as in historical places such as in historical windmills.
