On Thursday 5 June, from 6pm to 10 pm, a new edition of Art Palma Summer will take place—an event that marks the beginning of summer in the contemporary art galleries of Palma. The occasion will bring together nearly fifty exhibitions and over one hundred artists. Among the key highlights is the addition of two new galleries to the Art Palma Contemporani (APC) association: Tube Gallery and Hauser & Wirth Menorca, further boosting efforts to promote contemporary art. Now in its tenth edition, Art Palma Summer presents an ambitious programme that spans the cities of Palma, Andratx and Pollensa, as well as the Illa del Rei (Minorca). It also incorporates the University Art Biennial – Art Week 2025, organised by ADEMA University School.
This year’s edition places a special focus on projects led by women artists such as María Edwards, Johanna von Monkiewitsch and Mika Rottenberg, along with exhibitions by internationally renowned artists including Thomas Lisle, Ian Hamilton Finlay and Carlos Garaicoa. Local talent is also celebrated with the presence of Balearic artists such as Rafa Forteza, Adrián Martínez, Albert Pinya and Adriana Meunié.
The programme includes free guided tours throughout June and July, offering the public an accessible and enriching way to experience the exhibitions. Most shows will remain open throughout the summer. More information is available at: artpalmacontemporani.com
Important News from APC
It’s official: Art Palma Contemporani is expanding its network with the inclusion of Tube Gallery and Hauser & Wirth Menorca.
Founded in June 2023 in the Pere Garau neighbourhood of Palma, Tube Gallery is a dynamic space focused on contemporary art. Its mission is to foster cultural exchange and facilitate inter-cultural and inter-media dialogue, showcasing a diverse range of artists—from emerging talents to established figures on the international scene.
With the inclusion of Hauser & Wirth Menorca, APC extends its reach beyond Mallorca for the first time, opening new possibilities for collaboration across the Balearic archipelago. Located on the Illa del Rei in the port of Mahón, this centre combines art, education and sustainability. Since opening in 2021, it has hosted ambitious exhibitions and outdoor sculptures, accompanied by a full public programme and learning spaces.
APC also celebrates the merger of two well-known projects both in Mallorca and nationally: LA BIBI Gallery and Galería Fran Reus. Together, they become LA BIBI + REUS, combining trajectories, approaches and artists into a shared vision. The new space, over 500 m² in the centre of Palma (at the junction of Carrer de Sant Miquel and Carrer del Sindicat), complements their existing Establiments venue and its residency programme. The gallery will feature key artists from both rosters and launch initiatives such as Panorama, a public open call for emerging artists. This new chapter stands for an accessible, dynamic and open gallery, with site-specific projects, external collaborations and participation in international art fairs—reaffirming its commitment to artistic innovation and dialogue.

Beyond Galleries
ADEMA University School will transform Mallorca into the setting for a pioneering event on the international contemporary art scene and in the academic world: the University Art Biennial, part of Art Week 2025, from 2–6 June. This international event will be held across three main venues—ADEMA’s new Coll and Inca campuses and the Barceló Foundation. From late June, the event will continue as a travelling exhibition across La Misericòrdia and various towns across the island.
This international biennial will bring together over 300 emerging students, lecturers and researchers from 21 universities across Europe and the Americas in a major collective world exhibition, open to the public throughout the summer. It is curated by artist and director of Chelsea College of Arts (UAL), Ian Monroe, and directed by ADEMA’s Head of Fine Arts, Amparo Sard.
Art Summer 2025 once again includes the special collaboration between Nivia Born Boutique Hotel and ADEMA, reaffirming their shared commitment to emerging art and local talent. The hotel will host works by artists Aina Parpal (Berenar amb ses nines) and Margalida Serra Celià (Llaunes. On ses puntes, crostes i cornes), inviting residents and visitors alike to engage with contemporary art in a privileged setting in central Palma.
Finally, Art Palma Summer brings together Palma’s leading institutions, including Casal Solleric, Es Baluard Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Miró Mallorca Foundation. Other ever-popular institutional venues also take part, such as Espai Cor and La Misericòrdia. Outside Palma, APC is proud to continue its collaboration with venues such as the Pollença Museum.
