Art Palma Contemporani presents Nit del Art 2026

he 30th edition of Nit del Art takes place on Saturday, September 19th between 18h - 23h, across Palma, as well as several other towns including Andratx, Pollensa and Santanyi. For over three-decades Nit del Art has been one of the most anticipated fall events in Mallorca, transforming Palma into a capital of contemporary art and performance, bringing people together after the summer season. Organized by the gallery association, Art Palma Contemporani, Nit del Art has grown steadily over the years, with the event becoming a reference not only for curators, collectors, artists and gallerists, but also for other European cities, who have taken inspiration from the event to launch their own contemporary art events.

‍

This year, Nit del Art includes more than 50 exhibitions with over 100 artists participating in exhibitions and events. Art Palma Contemporani welcomes a new gallery into its association this year as well, a66 gallery, located in Santanyi. Founded in 2024 by Anja Maria Wold, the gallery is located in a traditional manor house and hosts exhibitions by local and international artists. Also, in an effort to attract a wider audience, APC invites iGallery and KANT Gallery as official collaborating partners.

Art Palma Contemporani and Nit del Art celebrate its 30th anniversary with a new visual identity developed by Hondo and Hastalastantas that captures the mood of ‘capvespre’ a Catalan word for dusk, or that moment when the day is ending and the night begins. APC wanted to capture this moment visually, this threshold, transition and promise, sentiments that are felt during this experience of Nit del Art.
