About Us

Welcome to Art Academy Malta! Art Academy Malta was established in 2005 by Charles and Jackie Micallef. They had been in business for over 30 years but they always had the dream of setting up a place dedicated solely to Art, Art and more Art. 

Art Academy Malta was born; an oasis of calm in the hectic commercial street where one can find a retail outlet at ground floor stocking all the materials an artist can dream of finding under one roof. An intermediate floor is dedicated to Exhibition space- also known as the Art Gallery. Jackie, an artist herself for several years before Art Academy was established, uses the Gallery to showcase her latest Artworks. The first floor of Art Academy houses three large studios where Art, Pottery, Craft, Photography and other specialized lessons are organized. Art Academy is the place where the student or the artist who wishes to join a class can relax, learn, talk and discuss art in all its various aspects.

As our customers and our students get to know us, they indeed become friends and more than simply clients. For their patronage and support we would like to take this opportunity and thank them in advance.

With this in mind, if you don’t find what you are looking for, or need any advice with your selection, you know that you can ask. We look forward to being of service and trust that our products and services will inspire and enable you to express your artistic talent.
