rt Palma Contemporani kicks off the summer season on June 6th with Art Palma Summer, an annual event that celebrates the island’s dynamic and expanding contemporary art scene. This is the 9th edition of Art Palma Summer, and is the most ambitious to date – with more than 30 exhibitions and 60 artists featured in galleries, museums and cultural institutions. In addition to Palma, there will be events taking place in Andratx and Pollensa. It is also timed to coincide with the 3rd annual International Art Week Congress organized by ADEMA Escuela Universitaria.
Art Palma Summer is organized by Art Palma Contemporani (APC), an association of gallerists launched in 2004, with the idea of creating a community of galleries and institutions to support and promote contemporary art on the island. Currently the organization includes 12 galleries: ABA ART LAB, BARÓ, CCA Andratx, Galería Fermay, Galería Fran Reus, KEWENIG Palma, LA BIBI, L21 Gallery, Maior Pollença, Galeria Pelaires, Pep Llabrés Art Contemporani y Galería Xavier Fiol. “New galleries can apply but must be accepted by all the galleries”, explains current APC president, Fran Reus, whose own gallery focuses on emerging artists.
