DFASinMalta has embarked on a new project this season, The Young Arts Project. Students attending the School of Art have been chosen to participate in this project which has been included as part of their curriculum.The students attended a presentation at the Notarial Archives, encouraging them to design an art work in relation to the subject 'pastepaper' or 'decorative paper'. 

The Notarial Archives Resource Council has sent a certificate thanking DFASinMalta for its contribution towards restoring decorated end papers on documents dating from 1821 and 1829.  Dr. Joan Abela, Ph.D., and Dr. Keith German, B.A., L.L.D., signed the certificate, in recognition of our efforts to help preserve the paper heritage for future generations.

The Decorative and Arts Society of Malta announces its new series of lectures for 2017-2018 at the Salini Resort in St. Paul’s Bay. The aim of DFASinMalta is to promote the appreciation and study of the fine arts and our cultural heritage.  Our lectures cover a wide range of artistic, historic and cultural subjects.

Dear Members,

On the 23rd January 2017 the new name was announced and as from next May The ‘National Association of the Decorative and Fine Arts Societies', will be known as ‘The Arts Society’. The link below will give you an insight into how the new name was chosen. There will also be further information in the spring issue of the NADFAS Review Magazine.
