Lily Agius Gallery

Lily Agius Gallery is a contemporary fine art gallery that has presented exhibitions since 2011. It is a nomad gallery, which means that shows have moved between venues rather than staying in one fixed space, and the gallery's own address today is in Floriana, the elegant suburb that sits just outside Valletta's city gates.

It is listed on VisitMalta.co.uk among our art galleries in Malta. If you are planning a city break that mixes art with sightseeing, our Valletta guide covers the capital next door.

A nomad gallery with an international roster

Past exhibitions have taken place in Sliema, in Valletta at the Malta Society of Arts and at Bottega Art Bistro, and in Floriana at the Green Shutters space. Titles include Hover-Still, Elective Affinity, Forest Fresh, Flight and Other Stories, and a French collective show, which gives a sense of how broad the programme is.

The gallery works with a large portfolio of international artists, and the artists page names Eiko Borcherding, Stephanie Galea, Luca Indraccolo, Sky Ferrante, Bertrand Peyrot, Ivan Prieto, Sahhara and Julien Vinet. Recent exhibitions have featured the Maltese-based charcoal artist and object maker CO-MA. Between gallery visits, our guide to things to do in Malta and our page on St John's Co-Cathedral are good ways to fill out a day in the capital.

Buying art: originals, prints and sculpture

The online shop is organised by category: drawings, limited edition prints, paintings, photography and sculpture. Prices run from €60 for a small limited edition print up to €16,000 for a large original painting, and every work is listed with its price, medium and size where available. Limited edition prints show an edition number, and items such as the CO-MA drawings are described as signed, ready to hang and supplied with a certificate of authenticity.

Beyond the shop, the gallery helps clients find the right pieces for their needs, whether that means improving an existing collection or starting one from scratch. Collectors can also join the newsletter to hear about new works and receive invitations to exhibition openings. If a piece is a gift or souvenir after a trip, our Malta holidays overview helps with planning the visit.

Shipping to the UK and beyond

Framed works, sculptures and objects are sent by Expedited Mail Service in protective packing, with tracking and a signature on delivery, and premium insurance is available on request. Delivery within Malta and Gozo takes two to three business days. To the United Kingdom, covering England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, the delivery time is six to eight business days, and the Europe times are six to ten business days.

Buyers elsewhere, including Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and the USA, should ask for a shipping quote before purchasing. You can also choose the pick-up option, either to collect locally in Malta and Gozo or to arrange your own courier for an international order. If you are flying in from Britain and would rather carry a smaller piece home, see our guide to flights to Malta for the routes.

Visiting by appointment

Private views are by appointment only. Contact the gallery if you would like to see a current exhibition or particular works by a specific artist. Artists who would like to be considered can send a link to their website or online portfolio, and the gallery reviews every submission and replies if the work fits.

Floriana is easy to combine with a day in Valletta, a stroll through the Upper Barrakka Gardens for views over the Grand Harbour, and our notes on where to stay in Malta and the Malta weather guide will help with timing. To book a viewing or ask about a work, use the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page and we will pass your message to the gallery.
