This Thursday, October 22, 2026, visitors can explore Marina Penhos's Dones a la mar at Sant Jaume 72 in Santa Eulària, Marcel Boer's The Footprints of the Sun at Olas Gallery, Núcleo Art Ibiza's Pulsión Creadora y, Algoritmo Intuitivo? at Sa Punta des Molí, Roos Dessing's Within the Pattern and Victor Spinelli's The Temple of Excess at Studio 55 Gallery.

From photography inspired by Ibiza's Mediterranean light to contemporary painting, ceramics, artistic experimentation and photographs documenting the island's clubbing heritage, these five exhibitions showcase the diversity of Ibiza's autumn art scene. Several are approaching their closing dates, making Thursday an opportunity to discover the works before they leave their respective exhibition spaces.

1. Dones a la mar by Marina Penhos at Sant Jaume 72

The relationship between women, memory and the Mediterranean takes centre stage in Dones a la mar, an exhibition by Argentine artist and educator Marina Penhos at Sala d'Exposicions Sant Jaume 72 in Santa Eulària des Riu.

The exhibition combines photography and textile art to explore connections between women, the sea and the traditions that shape coastal communities. Rather than treating the Mediterranean simply as a landscape, the project considers the stories, memories and cultural practices associated with maritime life.

Penhos's work also reflects an exchange between different communities and cultural backgrounds. Through collaborative activities, including the textile-art gathering Mujeres con raíces, the project brings together women's experiences and creative practices, using shared artistic work as a way to preserve memories and explore ideas of belonging.

The exhibition opened on October 6 and continues until Saturday, October 24. Thursday provides another opportunity to discover the collection before it closes.

2. The Footprints of the Sun by Marcel Boer at Olas Gallery

Photographer Marcel Boer explores the changing light of Ibiza in The Footprints of the Sun, an exhibition at Olas Gallery in Santa Eulària.

The collection focuses on the subtle details that give the island its visual character. Warm colours, Mediterranean reflections and the changing quality of sunlight transform familiar surroundings into photographic subjects, inviting visitors to observe Ibiza from a more intimate perspective.

Boer's work combines documentary photography, fine art and commercial photography. In this exhibition, his images encourage viewers to discover beauty in fleeting moments, whether through the light falling across a surface, the colours of the landscape or the atmosphere of an ordinary scene.

The result is a photographic portrait of Ibiza that moves beyond conventional postcard imagery, highlighting the quieter details that make the island distinctive.

The exhibition opened on September 24 and is scheduled to close on October 24. Thursday is therefore one of the final opportunities to see the collection before it ends.

3. Pulsión Creadora y, Algoritmo Intuitivo? at Sa Punta des Molí

The relationship between artificial intelligence and human creativity is the starting point for Pulsión Creadora y, Algoritmo Intuitivo?, a collective exhibition by Núcleo Art Ibiza at Espai Cultural Sa Punta des Molí in Sant Antoni.

The exhibition brings together twelve artists working across different disciplines, including painting, sculpture, installation, video and digital art. Their works explore how technology can influence the creative process while raising questions about authorship, intuition and the role of human experience in artistic expression.

Rather than presenting artificial intelligence simply as a replacement for human creativity, the exhibition considers how algorithms can become tools within a broader artistic process. Experimentation, mistakes, intuition and personal development remain central themes.

The exhibition invites visitors to consider how traditional artistic practices interact with emerging technologies and how new tools can expand the possibilities of creative expression.

The collection is displayed in the Sala Walter Benjamin at Espai Cultural Sa Punta des Molí, a cultural venue beside the sea in Sant Antoni.

The exhibition runs until Saturday, October 24, making Thursday an opportunity to explore the works before the closing date.

4. Within the Pattern by Roos Dessing at Studio 55 Gallery

Dutch artist Roos Dessing presents Within the Pattern at Studio 55 Gallery, an exhibition of layered paintings exploring relationships between colour, texture, emotion and the patterns that shape human experience.

Dessing's work moves between abstraction and recognisable forms, combining carefully arranged materials with intuitive mark-making. The paintings examine contrasts such as light and darkness, beauty and pain, certainty and uncertainty, suggesting that seemingly opposing elements can form part of a larger whole.

Her artistic process is influenced by the people and environments around her, with visual details and personal experiences becoming part of each composition. The resulting works encourage viewers to look beyond their immediate impressions and consider the connections between individual elements.

Studio 55 Gallery provides a setting for contemporary painting and mixed-media work, bringing together artists from Ibiza and beyond.

Within the Pattern opened on October 13 and continues until November 7, giving visitors several more weeks to explore the exhibition beyond Thursday.

5. The Temple of Excess by Victor Spinelli at Studio 55 Gallery

Photography and Ibiza's nightlife history meet in The Temple of Excess: Ibiza, Myth and the Manumission Era, an exhibition by artist Victor Spinelli at Studio 55 Gallery.

The collection revisits photographs taken between 2001 and 2006 during the years of Manumission, the legendary club event associated with Privilege and known for its elaborate productions, theatrical characters and extravagant atmosphere.

Spinelli documented the event over five summers, capturing the people, performances and backstage world that helped define an important period in Ibiza's clubbing history. The photographs grew into his Camera Verité series and were later collected in the book Manumission Reflections.

The exhibition offers a documentary perspective on an era when Ibiza nightlife developed a visual identity that extended beyond music into performance, fashion and creative expression.

For visitors who remember the Manumission years, the photographs provide a visual return to a distinctive chapter of island life. For newer generations, they offer a glimpse into the people and atmosphere behind one of Ibiza's most recognisable clubbing stories.

October 22 is listed as the exhibition's final day, with visiting hours advertised from 17:00 to 21:00. As current gallery information does not consistently confirm the closing date, visitors should contact Studio 55 before making a special trip.

At Sa Punta des Molí, Núcleo Art Ibiza examines the relationship between technology and creativity, while Roos Dessing's Within the Pattern invites visitors to consider the connections between colour, material and experience.

At Studio 55 Gallery, Victor Spinelli's The Temple of Excess provides a photographic look back at the Manumission era and its place in Ibiza's nightlife history. With several exhibitions closing shortly, Thursday is a useful opportunity to experience the island's contemporary art scene before the end of the month.
