Gabriel Caruana Foundation
The birth of the Gabriel Caruana Foundation is the natural progression of a lifetime that Gabriel Caruana has dedicated to art, building a legacy, a philosophy of life that he himself, his family and a few close friends would like to see continued. The Gabriel Caruana Foundation has been established to promote and preserve the artistic legacy of modern and contemporary art exponents, to encourage and provide opportunities for established and emerging artists and to raise awareness and promote quality modern and contemporary art in the Maltese Islands and beyond.
The Gabriel Caruana Foundation is focusing its efforts on archiving and digitization processes, making art more accessible through a variety of activities and networks.
The Foundation is a registered voluntary organisation (VO1236) and has been registered with the Commissioner of Voluntary Organisations since April 2016. In 2016 the Gabriel Caruana Foundation entered into a three-year collaboration agreement with Fondazzjoni Kreattività to collaborate on creative development and promotion, which has been extended for a period of five years until 2024. The Gabriel Caruana Foundation is supported by Arts Council Malta through the Investment in Cultural Organisations funding programme for the period 2020 to 2022.
