The Malta International Contemporary Arts Space (MICAS) is pleased to announce that, starting Sunday, 30 November, the public will be able to enjoy free admission every Sunday, including complimentary access to all current exhibitions.

As part of this new initiative, MICAS will also be offering a free guided art tour at 11:00am each Sunday, inviting visitors to explore the exhibitions in greater depth with insights into the works and artists.

These tours are led by MICAS-trained guides and are open to all visitors on a first-come, first-served basis.

MICAS is currently showing an unprecedented exhibition of the works of American master colourist Milton Avery, accompanied by the works of seven artists who credit him as an influence – Henni Alftan, Harold Ancart, March Avery, Andrew Cranston, Gary Hume, Nicolas Party, and Jonas Wood.

Free Admission Sundays aims to increase accessibility to contemporary art and open the MICAS experience to a broader audience, encouraging families, art enthusiasts, students, and first-time visitors to engage with the museum’s growing programme.

Guests are already able to move freely into the MICAS forecourt, which hosts two sculptures by Ugo Rondinone and Conrad Shawcross. With free admission on Sunday, they are able to enjoy the Shawcross sculptures inside the MICAS barrel vaults, browse the MICAS gift store, and enjoy the architectural ambience of the museum that has quickly become a cultural landmark.

“MICAS is committed to creating a welcoming space in which everyone can experience and enjoy contemporary art,” said MICAS chairperson Phyllis Muscat. “Free Admission Sundays allow us to open our doors even wider and invite the public to discover exhibitions such as Colour, Form and Composition: Milton Avery and His Enduring Influence on Contemporary Painting, part of our ongoing mission to bring exceptional international art to Malta.”

Visitors attending the free Sunday tour, held at 11am, will have the opportunity to explore the rare survey of American artist Milton Avery, exhibited alongside works by leading contemporary artists.

MICAS invites the public to make Sundays an opportunity to connect with art, relax around the museum campus, and experience one of Malta’s most dynamic cultural spaces.
