La nit de l'art is a tradition that takes place every year in Palma in September and, for a shorter period of time, in Valldemossa. It consists of one or several nights where artists, some museums and art galleries openly exhibit their works to the public. The streets of Palma are filled with creativity, light and people who enjoy a stroll in the open air exploring the most hidden corners of the city.
Each exhibition is unique and exceptional, the artists are new, renowned or professional, and each year is unique and special, so each year is a very different edition. In addition, the experience is accompanied by music as there are several concerts of both groups and soloists to achieve a festive and cheerful atmosphere.
Thousands of visitors from the city of Palma and many towns on the island take advantage of this day to walk through all the streets, visit the cathedral and the art galleries, who on other days of the year for whatever reason do not get to dedicate a day off to get to know all these charming streets in more depth and make the tour stopping at the tapas bars that dazzle customers that night with a great gastronomic variety.
This year 2022 the Nit de l'Art in Palma celebrates its 26th anniversary and will take place on the 15th, 16th and 17th of September, the last night from 18:00 to 23:00.
In Valldemossa the Nit de l'Art, held on the 25th of August, turned into an open-air summer night, with paintings, art pieces and crafts on display in the village gardens, accompanied by live music throughout the evening and street food stalls, as well as local bars and restaurants.
The residents of the village of Valldemossa get involved in this event on this summer night and help to decorate the streets using recycled materials organised in workshops with the local children.
