The Cultural associación SA TARONJA

SA TARONJA is a not-for-profit Association whose aims are to foment arts and culture in the southwest of Mallorca. It is probably the most idiosyncratic of all cultural centres in Mallorca, and one of the most loved.

SA TARONJA is indissociable from the marvellous space that it inhabits: the ex-chicken farm full of orange- and lemon trees at the end of the Calle Andalucía in Andratx. Twenty five years ago these halls held 8,000 chickens. They have been transformed into galleries, a theatre, dance hall and studios, a rose garden, a vegetable patch, lawns, terraces and an outdoor stage.

In the twelve years of its existence it has grown from a small social club for a handful of artists with the German artist Hartmut Usadel to a dynamic and vigorous association that presents one or two concerts or performances per week and up to 10 exhibitions throughout the year, runs over 20 classes for adults and children in art, music, and dance every week, offers studio space for local artists, practice rooms for dancers and musicians, and specialised workshops all round the year.

We offer most events at a token cost and many other events are free. Beyond art and culture, we work on raising the consciousness of the population on issues such as environment, recycling and immigration.

SA TARONJA has earned an enviable reputation for producing a distinct yet unpredictable brand of cultural programme in Mallorca.
