You’ll find an ambitious schedule of events happening throughout the city during the whole weekend: from art & theatre performances, live music and showcases with drinks and traditional tapas offered on every corner. There will be exhibitions spread throughout the city however most will congregate around the quaint streets near “Calle San Feliu” where the art galleries all come together in beautiful Mallorcan buildings, which are a sight to see just on their own!

The objective of Nit de l’Art is to place Palma on the map as a key point in the international art scene, attracting artists from all over the world. But you don’t need to be an art lover to appreciate this very special event. The galleries open their doors at 17h on Saturday and will remain open until midnight.

As huge art lovers ourselves, our Bconnected Team will be one of the first there!
