Galleries, museums and other art centers will forgive us, but if we understand art as a way of representing reality with a certain critical spirit, the most artistic scene that has been experienced in Palma this Saturday, September 20, the day in which the twenty-ninth edition of the Night of Art was held, was Chopin. There a series of unusual events occurred, images that had little or nothing to do, apparently, with each other, but that, due to their coincidence, served as a precise definition of current times.

Palma City Council has denied permission to hold an event in solidarity with Palestine as part of the Night of Art event taking place this Saturday in Palma. The permit had been formally submitted by the Federation of Neighborhood Associations of Palma.

Everything is ready for the twenty-ninth edition of the Noche del Arte (Art Night), which, with more than one hundred artists and fourteen galleries, confirms a trend that has grown in recent years: it's an event that has not only consolidated itself in the city's cultural calendar, but has grown year after year, especially in recent years. Thus, on the verge of beginning its third decade of existence—because no one hides the fact that the intention is to throw a big party next year, to mark its thirtieth anniversary, and that this year it's time for a sort of dress rehearsal—the September 20th edition is expected to be one of the most crowded of the Noche del Arte (Art Night).
