Belt hija kemm vettura kif ukoll dar għan-nies tagħha u l-istejjer tagħhom; il-mappa tagħha hija narrattiva ħajja, waħda li dejjem qed tinbidel, kollettiva, mistqarra minn ġenerazzjonijiet sħaħ ta’ periti, artisti, bejjiegħa, nies tas-sengħa u residenti, kull wieħed u waħda minnhom bi ħrejjef ordinarji u straordinarji. Kull wieħed u waħda minnhom bit-tradizzjonijiet u t-tamiet għall-futur; kemm tagħhom kif ukoll dak tal-belt. Sa mill-bidu tagħha ‘l fuq minn erba’ sekli ilu, il-Belt Valletta kienet dan u aktar; punt ta’ konverġenza għall-governanza, il-kummerċ, il-kultura u l-arti.
Permezz tax-xogħol tagħha, l-Aġenzija Kulturali għall-Belt Valletta taħdem qatigħ sabiex iżżomm djalogu miftuħ b’dawn l-elementi kollha. Il-ħolqien ta’ programm għall-belt, aktar milli għal teatru jew mużew, jisfidana kuljum sabiex nimpenjaw ruħna mal-belt, in-nies tagħha, dawk li jużawha, dawk li jżuruha u dawk li jammirawha.
Esperjenza multi-sensorja fiha nnifisha, il-Belt Valletta hija pjattaforma naturali għal skambju artistiċi u kulturali li jistgħu jgħallmuna aktar dwar is-soċjetajiet tal-passat, il-preżent u l-futur, il-bżonnijiet u x-xewqat tagħhom ir-relazzjoni tagħhom mal-arti fil-forom differenti tagħha, u kif dawn l-esperjenzi artistiċi fl-aħħar mill-aħħar jikkontribwixxu għall-istejjer tal-ħajja tagħhom. Kull programm annwali huwa mibni fuq ix-xewqa li jinħolqu esperjenzi trasformattivi, sabiex inħeġġu l-innovazzjoni u niċċelebraw it-tradizzjonijiet b’sensittività għall-wirt kulturali tagħhom.
Miftuħ għal kulħadd b’mod lokali u internazzjonali, il-programm kulturali tagħna huwa maħluq b’kollaborazzjoni ma’ artisti, kreattivi, esperti u dilettanti, kollettivi u organizzazzjonijiet, u jinvolvi l-ġeneri kollha sabiex jittrasforma l-esperjenzi tagħna permezz tal-parteċipazzjoni attiva u l-ko-kreazzjoni.

Jessica Muscat's background is rooted in her passion for Art History, which blossomed over the past decade, particularly during her undergraduate Bachelor’s degree (B.A. Hons.), where she graduated with First Class Honours. During her time at university, she served as Vice President to the History of Art Students’ Association (HoASA) and was awarded the prestigious ‘Dean’s List Award’ for reaching levels of academic excellence. In 2019, she obtained a Master’s degree (M.A.) by research in Art History from the University of Malta with Distinction. Her research uncovered numerous local works of art that had been overlooked and hidden in collections outside Maltese shores, significantly contributing to the field of decorative arts in Malta. Her publication 'The Darmanin Artists: Decorative Marble Production for the British Empire' (2021) was awarded two National book Prizes in 2022. Currently, Muscat holds the position of Head of Programming & Production at the Valletta Cultural Agency, where she oversees the Agency’s cultural programme and coordinates the production of all events and projects.
