From October 2 to 11, Formentera will host the fourth edition of Tardor d’Art, a cultural event bringing together local and international artists at the “Ajuntament Vell” Exhibition Hall, the Centre Antoni Tur “Gabrielet”, and the Jardí de Ses Eres.
The program includes exhibitions, public space interventions, and activities open to the public, with the aim of turning the island into a space for dialogue and artistic reflection.
