Returning for its fourth edition is CAN – Contemporary Art Now, the art fair that every summer transforms Ibiza into a meeting point between the best of the international contemporary scene and the relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. From June 25 to 29, 2025, the FECOEV venue, just outside the fortified old town, will host a curated selection of galleries from around the world, with a strong presence of both emerging and established artists, in a mix that reflects the new directions of visual art.

Once again leading the selection is Saša Bogojev, an independent curator and a key voice for those following contemporary art beyond the more canonical circuits. His vision brings to Ibiza names like Christian Rex van Minnen, Yulia Iosilzon, Erik Parker, Deng Shiqing, and Aistė Stancikaitė, along with material experimentation through ceramics, textiles, and installations by artists such as Line Munch and Delphine Dénéréaz.

What surprises is the common thread that ties many of the works together: a return to the human figure, to nature, to material. Between surrealism, plastic realism, and abstraction, CAN Ibiza 2025 tells the story of the state of art today—without rhetoric and without filters.

Alongside the main fair, the OFF program expands across the island and becomes increasingly integrated with the local territory: site-specific exhibitions in iconic locations like the lighthouse of Ses Coves Blanques, the air raid shelter of Santa Eulària des Riu, or the restored mill Sa Punta des Molí; solo shows by local artists such as Andrián Martínez and Guillermo Fornes; and a public sculpture by Stefan Strumbel that will watch over the city center until September.

For those interested in the more “domestic” side of art, CAN Design also debuts—a section dedicated to collectible design, with galleries like Galería También, Soleille Gallery, and LA Studio. Another piece of the puzzle that tells of the increasingly close connection between art, design, and everyday life.

Ibiza thus confirms itself not only as a tourist destination, but also as a cultural crossroads capable of attracting galleries from Bali to New York, from Copenhagen to Madrid. As founder Sergio Sancho says, “Contemporary Art Now is not just a fair: it’s an experience that blends art, pleasure, and community.” And more than ever in this edition, CAN seems to embody the very spirit of the island: free, evolving, and surprisingly authentic.
