Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró a Mallorca

Mission and organization

Mission

The Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró a Mallorca is a cultural centre based on the art studios that artist Joan Miró bequeathed to the public. It offers visitors an insight into his artwork and underlying creative process in the place where the artist lived and worked for almost 30 years.

The Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation in Mallorca is devoted to promoting and disseminating artistic knowledge while fostering contemporary creation and safeguarding, studying and projecting Joan Miró’s legacy. As a vibrant, open institution that transcends traditional museum models, the Foundation transforms the artist’s workshops and collection into a dynamic space for research, training and experimentation. Its core functions include preserving and managing the artworks, documents, workshops and assets linked to Miró; encouraging research on his work and on contemporary artistic practice; organizing exhibitions, cultural programmes and public activities that nurture dialogue between artists and society; supporting emerging creators through awards, grants and residencies; promoting artistic training through the Printmaking Workshops; collaborating with cultural, educational and scientific institutions; and maintaining a strong educational mission through programmes for schools, families, adults and diverse communities. As a public foundation governed by its Statutes and Board of Trustees, it upholds its commitment to public service, critical thinking and artistic creation as a catalyst for social engagement.
