An event born in Palma in 1997<\/h2>\n

The first edition dates back to September 1997<\/strong>, when gallery owners Pep Pinya and Xavier Fiol, through the Asociaci\u00f3n Independiente de Galer\u00edas de Arte de Baleares (AIGAB), launched a joint late-night opening of galleries.<\/p>\n

According to Art Palma Contemporani, Palma was the first European city to hold an event of this kind<\/strong>. Three decades later, the Nit de l’Art remains committed to bringing contemporary art closer to the public and promoting Mallorca’s art scene beyond the island.<\/p>\n
