Fundació Cultural Coll Bardolet

The Fundació Cultural Coll Bardolet is a private cultural foundation based in Valldemossa, Mallorca, in Spain's Balearic Islands. It was created in January 2005 with a dual mission: to preserve, exhibit and disseminate the pictorial work of the Mallorcan painter Josep Coll Bardolet and the private collection owned by the foundation, and to promote the fine arts in all their aspects and variants. Its headquarters are at Carrer Blanquerna, 4, in the centre of Valldemossa, a village in the Serra de Tramuntana that is closely associated with the artist's life and work. The foundation is governed by a patronat (board of trustees) presided over by Josep Coll Vilanova, the artist's nephew, with two other nephews serving as life patrons. The education and culture minister of the Government of the Balearic Islands, the culture minister of the Consell de Mallorca and the mayor of Valldemossa are ex officio patrons. Nine further members complete the board, while Sílvia Pizarro Anglada-Camarasa holds the position of director of the foundation. The foundation's headquarters, inaugurated in 2007, occupies a central building in Valldemossa that was rehabilitated with the collaboration of the Government of the Balearic Islands. The first floor offers a permanent display of Coll Bardolet's paintings, mainly Mallorcan landscapes but also still lifes, floral compositions and his well-known scenes of traditional Mallorcan dances. The second-floor space is dedicated to temporary exhibitions, while the ground floor hosts cultural activities such as lectures and concerts. There is also an audiovisual room and a courtyard with an amphitheatre for open-air events. Beyond exhibitions, the foundation publishes books, including one devoted to the Parado de Valldemossa, and organises concerts, conferences and temporary exhibitions. Its programme has included exhibitions such as "Viatgers a l'illa. Un paradís de paper" and concerts by performers such as Mary Lambourne and Gori Matas. The foundation also maintains links to other Coll Bardolet collections, including the Pinacoteca Coll Bardolet in Campdevànol and the Museu de Lluc.
