Pre-Nit de l'Art: Galerie Mensing invites to a special evening with Tom Boston

Pre-event on 17 September at Calle de Colóm – art, sound and small moments of luxury

On the edge of Nit de l'Art: Palma Shines on September 20 – The City Becomes a Gallery, this week you'll find a concentrated dose of pop art at Calle de Colóm 8. Galerie Mensing opens its doors on Thursday, 17 September 2026, from 7 p.m. for an evening intended as an aperitif before the big art night. At the center is artist Tom Boston, whose works, with brisk colours and familiar images, quickly spark conversation.

The event is deliberately relaxed: a reception with champagne from "Champagne One", a live DJ, small culinary bites and time to look and talk. Every visitor receives a limited art print hand-signed by the artist — a lovely memento of a mild late-summer evening in Palma.

For those who like to plan: the gallery is in the old town, not far from Passeig del Born. Early arrivals can stroll the narrow lanes, hear the clattering of shutters and smell the air scented with roasted almonds and the sea. This turns a gallery visit into a Evening Stroll Through Palma's Art Night: Nit de l'Art Open Until 11 PM.

Practical information for participation: the gallery accepts registrations by telephone at 02385 70 10 300 and by email at event@galerie-mensing.de. A registration form is also available on the gallery's website. Places are likely limited—so those who want to be sure to attend should register in advance.

Why is this good for Mallorca? Such evenings bring two things together: local cultural players and an audience that joins beyond the high season. Galleries enliven the city centre, create meeting spaces for locals and visitors, and give artists visibility. There is also an economic side effect: a glass of champagne, small catering, perhaps a sale on the side — all of which help support the art scene.

A short everyday tip: if you want to continue after the event, you'll find nearby small bars where you can hear the live DJ's music continue. Or sit briefly on a bench at Plaça Major, take a breath, and let the evening's colours resonate. Such an evening works best if you don't rush.

Nit de l'Art is always a moment when Palma seems a little more open, a little louder and a little more colourful. The pre-event at Galerie Mensing is an invitation to experience exactly that — without the bustle, but with an eye for what endures: images, conversations, and perhaps a print that later hangs on the wall.

Those who go take a piece of Palma's art night home with them — and help keep the island's culture alive. This is not a big speech, just a good evening: pop art, champagne and the lanes of Palma as an extension of the gallery.
