From it inauguration
on the 27th December 1989, the Gozo School of Art, now known
as the Gozo Centre for Art and Crafts is continuously thriving
to promote art, crafts and artisans on the island. Proof of
this is the continuous encouragement we get from the Department
of Further Studies and Adult Education regarding the numerous
courses organized in the various disciplines of Art and Crafts.
The Ministry for Gozo decided
to boost further our school by extended to it a Crafts Development
Center. This will serve as an Incubation Center for local
crafts and artisans. This measure will definitely help the
industry itself as well as giving the necessary training one
needs in marketing so as to enter in the trade field.
This is a golden opportunity
to amalgamate the art and crafts with I.T. since the Ministry
for Gozo will be sponsoring web space for those students who
wish to market the artifacts created through our tutoring.
And what better way of advertisement is there nowadays if
not the internet? This shows that through I.T., the world
has become one small village. Our small nation can ride the
crest of the information super highway to be exposed to the
whole world.
