Between Pen and Paintbrush: A Collaboration between Writers and Illustrators – Kunsill Nazzjonali taż-Żgħażagħ 🇲🇹🇬🇧

‘Between Pen & Paintbrush’ is a live showcase that brings together the next generation of local writers and illustrators. Earlier in this project, young writers and illustrators have been paired to bring a story to life through words, and art. This event brings their behind-the-scenes teamwork directly onto the stage, allowing the audience to watch a story develop through both words and art simultaneously.

The programme unfolds through a series of short segments, each spotlighting a creative duo. As the writer reads their original story or poem live, the illustrator brings the words to life through live drawing, projected on screen for the audience to follow. Each segment concludes by bringing the finished text and artwork together, revealing how the two creative processes combine to tell a single story.

‘Between Pen & Paintbrush’ aims to create a network for young writers and illustrators, and show that power of collaboration in creative work.
