Unfinished Foundation is an independent, NGO and voluntary organisation. It is a very small organisation, with only three members, but is very active, producing exhibitions and projects on a regular basis. Established in 2019, we are now looking at collaborating more with other organisations.Our annual budget depends on funding and some commissions.Funding is mainly from Arts Council Malta, although we are now also participating in a Creative Europe project.Our activities involve producing and supporting experimental and contemporary art in Malta, either by commissioning and producing exhibitions or research projects, or by advocating for the rights and activities of artists in a relatively closed artistic environment.Our main stakeholders are individual artists that we collaborate with, although we collaborate regularly with Spazju Kreattiv – Malta’s national centre for creativity, as well as other institutions such as Arts Council Malta, Magna Żmien Foundation, and ŻfinMalta.
