24th October is the International Day of Climate Action, a key date in raising awareness around the world of the devastating impact climate change is having on our planet. Here at Palma Aquarium, we are committed to conservation and environmental education, which is why we have prepared a special programme of events that will be taking place between 24th and 27th October under the title “Art For Action”. An initiative that encourages everyone to become part of the change, using art as a call to action and a means of raising awareness of the need to care for the environment. Through our educational, interactive and creative activities, together we can inspire positive change and safeguard our planet, seas and oceans.

Live Art Mural for Climate Action

Between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., visitors will be able to enjoy a live painting session in collaboration with the artist Art is Life. The mural will be created in our Mediterranean gardens, and each brushstroke will represent a commitment to the conservation of the planet. Art can act as a powerful tool in expressing the urgent need to take action against climate change.
