The Malta Entertainment Industry and Arts Association is a non-profit association, founded in 2020 as the national representative body for Malta’s entertainment, arts and creative industries. We advocate for the interests of creative professionals, champion fair and sustainable policies, and create opportunities for collaboration, professional development and industry growth. Through advocacy, education and community building, we work to strengthen a thriving creative sector that supports artists, cultural practitioners and creative businesses across Malta.

“The creative sectors are not only unique but also vital to our society, holding boundless potential. I firmly believe in positioning these sectors on equal footing with other industries, recognising their vast socio-economic impact. We persist in our efforts to establish robust foundations and infrastructure, ensuring efficiency, sustainability, accessibility, whilst raising awareness of the Malta’s creative professionals .”
