La Nit de l’Art always fills Palma with exhibitions and people who come to celebrate. But it ends, and the galleries remain open. The shows inaugurated these days offer a good opportunity to return calmly, look at the works without rushing, and discover proposals that deserve a visit beyond the Night. Below, we take a tour among the many possible ones of some of the most outstanding exhibitions shown by the city's galleries.

There are not many cultural initiatives around us that can boast of having reached 30 years. The Nit de l’Art has achieved this, and that is no small feat. Born in 1997 as an initiative by some gallery owners in Palma such as Pep Pinya (Pelaires), Xavier Fiol, and Joan Guaita, among others, it was conceived with the desire to join forces—perhaps thinking that the more there are, the more noise is made—and, above all, with the purpose of bringing art closer to the citizenry. It has been many years since the Nit de l’Art achieved a good part of these objectives. But what does it leave us and what could the Nit de l’Art leave behind, with the strength it has gathered in these 30 years? Perhaps it is a good time to ask ourselves that.

The Museum of Footwear and Industry of Inca has officially joined the International Council of Museums (ICOM), a global organization dedicated to the development of museums and sector professionals. The Inca City Council pointed out this Monday that the accession represents recognition of the museum's work in the conservation, research, and dissemination of heritage related to the history of footwear and the city's industry. The incorporation will also allow for the establishment of links with an international network of museums and professionals to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices.

The large Molinar de Montuïri building, popularly known as the Ecomuseum, will house the Balearic Islands Sports Interpretation Center (CIEIB). The Balearic Government, through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sports, headed by Jaume Bauzà, a native of Montuïri, is working towards this goal. While nothing is finalized at this time, discussions for an agreement with the Montuïri City Council, the building's owner, are well advanced. Sources at the Ministry of Tourism explain that the initial plan was to finalize the agreement this February, but it will take several weeks to complete the proposal.
