This year, security measures due to Covid 19 force us to reinvent ourselves by creating new ways of celebrating events that are already part of the city's idiosyncrasy. This is the case of the Nit de l'Art de Palma, which each year marks the start of the season for art galleries. In this edition it will not be possible to celebrate collectively as every year but it can be celebrated in a more personalized way, visiting the exhibitions in small groups and with all the security measures.
La Nit de l'Art 2020 is held over four days from September 16 to 19, instead of just one as usual, and during the day. It programs visits in dialogue to the exhibitions led by four specialists: Mónica Galvàn (curator), Gabriel Llinàs (artist and curator), Jaume Reus (art historian and cultural manager) and Pau Waelder (curator, critic and teacher). These visits in dialogue are carried out in Catalan, Spanish and English.
Each group consists of a maximum of 8 people, meeting the capacity of each of the galleries and art centers, both outside and inside, as well as during the journeys on foot. Both the public and the guides will wear masks at all times, a safety distance will be maintained and additional information and resources will be provided through digital systems (screens, QR codes) that do not require touching any object.
