Closer to home, the island’s own grassroots galleries, Galería También and Soleille Gallery – the latter collaborating with St Vincents from Antwerp – return as part of CAN Design, the popular collectible objects strand that launched last year and is now firmly embedded in the fair’s identity. Expect sculptural forms and curios that instantly make you want to rearrange your living room to accommodate them. Meanwhile, Estudio Laterna and In-Between Ibiza Gallery anchor the CAN Local thread – a partnership with island institutions and independent spaces throughout Ibiza Art Week, the broader festival that gives this week a homegrown cultural charge.

The CAN Art Fair Ibiza OFF Program is where things get gloriously diverse as satellite exhibitions fan out across the island into venues that are, in many cases, as interesting as the work they house. This year’s confirmed artists include Ana Grajales, Antonio Villanueva, Catalina Julve, Federica Furbelli, Marina Marón and Mercedes Balle, showing at locations that span Faro Ses Coves Blanques in San Antonio, the atmospheric Es Polvorí, the 16th century former gunpowder store in Dalt Vila, Espacio Cultural Sa Punta des Molí, Centro Culturalde Jesús and Five Flowers Formentera Meliá Collection, the route’s only stop beyond Ibiza. This year’s fair is an aesthetic treasure hunt that takes in both islands and celebrates Balearic art in a way that is intrinsic to their ever-unconventional spirit.

Public art has always had a powerful presence in Ibiza, with various sculptures and murals dotted around the island. This year’s edition of CAN Art Fair Ibiza leans into this most essential and egalitarian expressions of creativity with two significant new sculptures added to the island’s outdoor collection. In Dalt Vila, Danish artist Amalie Jakobsen has installed a new piece inside the ancient walled citadel, while the Mexico City and Ibiza-based conceptual artist Stefan Brüggemann has unveiled a new sculpture in San Antonio. Brüggemann is one of the most internationally recognised voices working between minimalism and social critique, while Jakobsen is represented by Future Gallery, Berlin, one of this year’s CAN Art Fair Ibiza exhibitors. Both artists’ work further solidifies the island’s deeply felt relationship with contemporary art.

Ibiza Art Week provides the wider frame: a growing moment in the island’s cultural life that gives shape to everything happening across CAN Art Fair Ibiza, from the main fair to the furthest flung OFF venue, lending the whole week a sense of shared purpose. It’s a reminder that the island’s identity has always been more layered than its reputation suggests, and that art has been woven into Ibiza’s rich fabric since its ancient Phoenician pottery and through to the 1960s avant-garde collective, Ibiza 59 Group that was formed by a small band of émigré painters and architects who settled on the island after the war.

Five editions in and CAN Art Fair Ibiza remains genuinely welcoming – no velvet-rope nonsense here, no impenetrable art-speak, just an all-encompassing energy where art is celebrated for and by Ibiza’s masses. Sergio Sancho‘s original instinct, that the island’s audience was ready for something artistically substantial without the stuffiness, has been vindicated year after year. Made for the creatively curious, this is a chance to see a wealth of artworks in a uniquely Ibiza way. The music may always be louder, and the sunsets will always steal the headlines, but for four days in late June, CAN Art Fair Ibiza is a gentle reminder that some of the very best things about this island have not always been the most obvious.

All artworks (excluding Stefan Brüggemann’s sculpture) shown are from the 2025 edition of CAN Art Fair Ibiza. To view the 2026 collections, tickets are available at the link below and CAN Art Fair Ibiza is open to the public on Friday June 26 and Saturday June 27 from 5pm until 9pm, and on Sunday 28 June from 12pm until 6pm.
