ACM champions creative entrepreneurship to motivate sustainable growth and innovation within Malta\u2019s cultural and creative sectors. Our stakeholders\u2019 experience and research suggest that professional challenges and opportunities for the CCS (Culture and Creative Sectors) are largely shaped by attitudes towards risk, innovation and the diversity of business models. ACM strives to identify and address the needs of all players within the CCS and to offer structural, advisory and financial support leading to improved operations, profitability and professional status. <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The CCSs present a highly aleatory variety of players with different backgrounds and ambitions relevant to their diverse economic, social and cultural contexts. We recognise that these players aspire towards different professional commitments. Some seek to establish fully fledged businesses, others seek full-time employment whilst others still are happy to engage on a different level of commitment, including part-time and ad hoc arrangements without depending on their creative practice as their primary source of income. ACM continues to work towards increased investment in the CCS startup landscape and in all the structures that provide current and aspiring creative entrepreneurs the means to develop and grow their businesses.<\/p>

ACM is committed to acknowledge that CCSs are not a homogeneous group and address the multitude of realities and corresponding needs of all its stakeholders. CCS is a rich and diverse ecology made up of a wide range of definitions of success and fulfilment beyond the obvious bottom line.<\/p>

ACM remains committed to elevating the status of artists and professionals by advocating in favour of the arts and creativity within communities and promoting freedom of expression and inclusion, improved working conditions and equitable access to opportunities. We also seek to see creative entrepreneurship become an endeavour with a social remit to promote the position of the cultural and creative sectors within local communities and society at large. This drive will enable and support the collective aspirations of the arts to stimulate social development and well-being. For this strategy to be effective, we actively engage in an open professional dialogue with other public entities that are directly responsible for and represent all the stakeholders that constitute the CCS in the Maltese islands.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
