NOTTE BIANCA 2024 - EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
Notte Bianca is one of Malta’s biggest annual arts and culture festivals, with various events happening all around Valletta in just one night.
Taking place on the first Saturday of October, the Valletta cityscape lights up with a spectacular celebration of the arts that is open to the public free of charge. Valletta’s streets, piazzas, churches, state palaces, and museums are transformed into venues for a myriad of live performances and concerts, while many cafés and restaurants extend their opening hours.
Festivals Malta is accepting expressions of interest for Notte Bianca 2024, which will be held on Saturday 5th October.
Festivals Malta invites interested parties to submit their artistic project proposals to be considered for the Notte Bianca 2024 programme.
Preference will be given to original projects.
Should the concept of the project fit the creative vision of the festival, the Notte Bianca team will set up meetings with the applicant in order to explore and develop the project in further detail.
