ARTS FOUNDATION

LIONS CLUB SLIEMA ARTS FOUNDATION

The brainchild of Past President Lion Ian Lochhead, Lions Club Sliema Art Foundation was constituted on the 25^th March 2005 by a public deed drawn up by Notary Dr Margaret Heywood.

Apart from being a non-profit making organisation the primary aim of the Foundation is to promote the study of the arts by persons requiring financial assistance and deemed appropriate recipients of assistance by the Foundation.

The overall responsibility of the Foundation and its activities are vested in a Committee of Management appointed by the Board of Directors of Lions Club Sliema. Past President Ian Lochhead chairs the present Committee and the members are:

Prof. D. Buhagiar, Dr Stella Borg Barthet, Mr George Apap and Past President Lion Joseph Caruana.

Presently the Foundation is in possession of about Lm20,000. This considerable amount was mainly sponsored through the goodwill of the Foundation’s Chairman Lion Ian, and various fund-raising activities mostly held at Ian’s residence at Xwieki. It is hoped that this year the Foundation shall start sponsoring youths to pursue their studies, after having received the anticipated amount.

The Club has an Arts Sub Committee responsible for administering the funds in consultation with the Board of Directors. The present Chairperson is Lion Victoria Muscat.

A Peace Poster (ART) Competition is being held annually

Book Restoration Project

THE NATIONAL LIBRARY BOOK RESTORATION PROJECT

This long-term project was embarked upon so that valuable books found at the National Library and require restoration are brought back to their original beauty.

The first phase of the project which was launched on the 25th May 2010 by Dolores Cristina Minister of Education, Employment and the Family, and 1st Vice President Alfred Micallef Attard consists of the restoration of 3 of the seven volumes of Hortus Romanus (1172-1793) by the Conservation Division of Heritage Malta with a cost of €9000.

The second phase is the restoration of 21 Melitensiae books printed between 1672 and 1872, costing € 1300.

The third phase is the purchase of a Leaf-Casting Machine costing € 6000.

Funds for this project were forthcoming from foreign firms, club members, members of the public and fund raising activities.

This project is fully supported by the Ministry of Education, the National Library and Heritage Malta.

To encourage the public to sponsor a book, a label showing the name of the sponsor is affixed to the selected volume. Interested book lovers may write to LCS, P.O.Box 62, Sliema SLM 1000.
