Aftersun Market

THIS year’s Aftersun Market kicked off in Puerto Adriano on Wednesday April 26 and will run for the next four weeks.

Aftersun Market is an ephemeral market with design, fashion and decoration proposals from brands and talents mainly from the Balearic Islands, plus a large space for street food and a spectacular decoration.

This is the 7th edition of the market that also features an exhibition of urban art, with invited artists from all over Spain and beyond painting 20 maritime containers that will form a Street Art Walk opposite the sea.

Up to 104 proposals were received this year, making the jury’s work very difficult to decide the winning entries.

INSCRIPTIONS are now open for this year’s ‘Art Jove’ culture programme for young residents aged 16 to 35.

‘Art Jove’ consists of eight artistic competitions with cash prizes of up to €9,000 each, including photography, theatre, music, graphic design, cooking, architecture and interior de­

The jury, which met to analyse and decide on the proposals this week, included experts from prestigious galleries such as Aba Art Lab and Gallery Red, as well as from urban art competitions including Betart Calvià and Art Nit Campos.

The winners received a cash prize of between €400 and €600 depending on the size of the container to paint, which can be 3x3 or 3x6 metres. This year’s invited guest artist is Ramón Sendra from Granada, an artist, teacher and investigator with several prizes for street art and who is one of the leading names in the country.
