The Garden of Serenity International Art Exhibition forms part of the Cultural Events Initiative Scheme for Local Councils proposed by the secretariat for Local Government. The exhibition being held in the Garden of Serenity in Santa LuÄ‹ija is related to this garden and to the sculpture garden decorating the locale. In reality the temporary exhibition works will augument the permanent sculpture pieces already installed in previous years. A Sub-Committee for Culture for the Santa LuÄ‹ija Local Council is involved in the organisation of this event.  The exhibition inauguration will take place on Monday 7th December and close on Wednesday 16th December 2015.

The participation will involve three levels: local (artists from the neighbourhood) national (artists from Malta) and international (artists from China and other countries).  For the occasion the Local Council has approached a number of artists: painters, ceramists, sculptors, photographers and film producers to take part in a large collective exhibition to create an artistic and cultural event that would confirm Santa LuÄ‹ija as an attraction to locals and tourists. 

The artist participants cover a vast spectrum of talent and represent veteran and young artists from Malta, Sicily Slovakia and China. The concept of organizing an art exhibition partially in the open is to demonstrate the importance of a contemplative space among trees and an artificial lake and waterfall as a backdrop to garden sculpture for the enjoyment and education of the general public.  The three magnificent and spacious pagodas will also provide interior space utilised for exhibiting hanging pieces.

This event is expected to help increase art activity outside Valletta while serving to create further awareness that open spaces, vegetation and the sound of falling water are a palliative more effective to ease tension and stress than other remedies.
