The Arts Council Malta as we know it today did not exist until a couple of years ago, except for an unsuccessful attempt in 1966, when the then Minister Paul Borg Olivier had the idea of forming a council which would help in organising artistic matters on a national level.

Another idea discussed during the early days of the first arts council was to exempt duty from the exportation of artefacts from abroad. However, having no administrative structure the 1966 arts council mission was discontinued. It was then during the late 1980s, when a certain Francis Scerri, known for his organisational skills was transferred from the Department of Inland Revenue to the Ministry of Culture with his main task being that of creating a structure for the Cultural Division.

    These two different yet similar pieces combine to persuade viewers that all scholars should learn about the arts. Although both writers share a strong view point of everyone being educated in the arts and both incorporate strong uses of logos and pathos in their writings, Ungar’s article shows great usage of ethos while Murray’s essay lacks in that element.
