A good reception
We are very pleased with the response so far, from some great feedback on social media to a first-class review from Ġorġ Mallia, artist and Associate Professor at the University of Malta.

Some background
The Allura Art collection launched in December 2020, following the devastation caused by COVID-19 to the Art Sector earlier that year. Allura Art - The Big Show is the result of a great deal of effort and determination on the part of many and represents the successful navigation though this challenging period by Allura and its artists.
