Mallorca: 65.3% of artists surveyed exhibit for free

On Mallorca, 65.3% of artists and creators surveyed say they receive no payment for exhibiting in public spaces. The newly formed Unión de Creadores de Mallorca presents the finding in Son Servera, Mallorca, on 7 November 2026. The survey covers 171 artists and creators on the island.

The union wants fair working conditions and proper pay for artistic work. It says written agreements for collaborations should set out payment, responsibilities, dates, rights to use the work, transport and insurance. It also calls for reasonable deadlines when opportunities are advertised, better coordination between institutions and departments, and recognition and visibility for artists and their work. The union aims to speak for creators in dealings with town councils, cultural institutions and the media.
