The Nit de l'Art is one of the most important artistic events in Mallorca This year, from September 15 to 17, the island’s artists and gallery owners will gather at dusk to welcome in the art season. Click here to see the programme.

The idea was born in 1997 as a particular recreation of the nuit blanche held in cities such as Paris and Toronto, and  is becoming an ever more important event with each passing year.

Palma’s museums and galleries open their doors to the public during the night and it’s all completely free of charge. In past years, music and performance art have also found their place during this magical evening.

The old town is transformed into an enormous open-air art exhibition, where young talents take advantage of every corner to show their work to the public. From bars, cafes, workshops, rooftops, facades of historic buildings, shop windows and balconies.

Each year’s event is unique and full of surprises, since the organisers keep the official programming secret until a few days before its start.

This initiative places Palma on the list of capital cities promoting avant-garde art and new art movements, preserving the independent spirit and energy with which this unique nuit blanche was created.
