BPC x The Brewhouse
We’ve joined forces with The Brewhouse to offer artists an inspiring new space to exhibit their work.
Set within the raw, industrial charm of the Old Brewhouse, this collaboration creates a fresh platform for contemporary expression, where the Bored Peach Club’s creative energy meets The Brewhouse’s cultural vision.
Together, we’re turning heritage into a gallery for the bold, the curious, and the brilliant.
The Grist
The Grist a fully fitted out and flexible 300 sqms space set within the original 1950s brewhouse shell, this new event space embraces its raw architectural character to deepen the Old Brewhouse visitor journey. Once the heart of production, it now beats with cultural energy, offering a venue for entertainment, art, and community. The space retains its own identity, while remaining intrinsically connected to the Cisk Tap above and its rooftop terrace, together forming a dynamic, singular destination.
Soon, this storied setting will find new life through a collaboration with the Bored Peach Club, transforming part of the venue into a gallery space dedicated to contemporary art.
With modular elements and an adaptable layout, the space is primed for a wide range of exhibitions.

Meet the curator
Fabrizio Mifsud is a curator, editor, and cultural-policy advisor. Holding an MA in Culture & Heritage Management and a BA in Art History from the University of Malta, he has spent nearly two decades shaping how contemporary art is presented, collected, and funded in Malta and abroad.
He spent ten years evaluating cross-border cultural projects for the European Commission’s Creative Europe programme and, earlier, devised the national visual-arts strategy at Arts Council Malta, where he also served as liaison for numerous international projects and exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale.
His curatorial career began in 2012, when he reimagined the British Council’s touring exhibition Thresholds, featuring works by Lucian Freud, Chris Ofili, and David Hockney. For the 2014 Valletta International Visual Art Festival he interrogated masculinity in ALPHA. The following year he mapped intimacy and grief in Beyond Love: desolation & devotion, a group show of fifteen photographers. He also co-created BL(UH)B(E)L with the art persona Lucie Fontaine for the inaugural OFF-Biennale Budapest. His most significant project to date is perhaps the UNHCR-supported IsleLanders, which traced migrant crossings in the Mediterranean and travelled from Valletta to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, where it was inaugurated by H.E. the President of Malta.
After joining the team at Von Peach and the Bored Peach Club, Mifsud extended his practice to print by editing The Void for Impeached Magazine’s Hedonism issue ( Summer 2025), a zine centred on facelessness and fragmented identity.
