Featuring children alongside their pets and showcasing the work of 12 Ibiza-connected ceramists, the new solidarity calendar aims to raise around €23,000 to support Com Tu! APNEEF and its work with people with special needs and their families.

The 2027 edition of the APNEEF solidarity calendar was presented at Hotel Pacha on Wednesday, 14 October, continuing a long-running initiative that brings together local creativity and community support.

Produced by Fundación Pacha in collaboration with Com Tu!, the project will see 4,000 calendars made available for a €6 donation each. Organisers hope the campaign will raise approximately €23,000 to help the association continue its work supporting people with special needs in Ibiza and Formentera.

Twelve Ceramists Put Ibiza Creativity in the Spotlight

This year’s calendar celebrates 12 ceramists connected to Ibiza, with photography sessions taking place inside their workshops.

The creative concept brings together portraits of the children featured in the calendar and images of each ceramist’s work, connecting the participants with the island’s artistic community.

A new feature of the 2027 edition is that children from APNEEF could be photographed alongside their own pets. The result combines personal moments with the ceramics and creative spaces that inspired the project.

The participating ceramists are Yvette Spowers, Natalie Rich-Fernández, María José Marí Bufí, Adrián Ribas Escandell, María Sejas Balda, Daniel Benlloch, Marina Marón, Laura Huguet Nonó, Elena Noguera Wilson, Jeremy Perret, Nadia Manini and Laura De Grinyó.

The creative team includes Laura De Grinyó, responsible for the concept; photographers Vito and Oliver; Leila Arató, coordinating production; and María Sejas Balda, responsible for design and layout.

€6 Donation to Support APNEEF’s Work

The calendars will be offered for a €6 donation, with all proceeds going directly to Com Tu! APNEEF.

The organisers plan to produce 4,000 copies and estimate that the initiative could raise around €23,000. This remains a fundraising target, with the final amount depending on sales and donations.

For families and supporters who return to the project every year, the calendar has become an eagerly anticipated annual initiative. Its presentation marks the culmination of months of work involving the children, families, artists, photographers and production team.

Fundación Pacha covers the production costs, allowing the money raised through calendar donations to go entirely to the association.

A Partnership Dating Back to 2005

The solidarity calendar has been an annual initiative of Fundación Pacha since 2005, with Grupo Pacha providing yearly support since 2011.

Over the years, the project has combined different creative themes with the participation of children and young people supported by APNEEF. Each edition offers a new artistic approach while maintaining the same fundraising purpose.

For the 2027 calendar, the collaboration with local ceramists gives the project a distinctly Ibiza-focused theme, highlighting the island’s creative community alongside the people at the heart of the association’s work.

Supporting People with Special Needs in Ibiza and Formentera

Com Tu! APNEEF works with children and young people with disabilities, dependency-related needs or the risk of developing such needs, while also providing support to their families.

Its work includes early intervention, therapies, family guidance, support for autonomy and leisure activities. Fundraising initiatives such as the annual calendar help the association continue delivering its programmes.

The calendar is therefore more than a collection of photographs. It brings together families, artists and local businesses around a shared project, while directing the proceeds towards support for people with special needs in Ibiza and Formentera.

With the creative work complete, the next stage is for supporters to purchase the calendar and help turn the initiative into its intended fundraising contribution.
