Panama 2 February 2025The Ministry of Culture (MiCultura) organizes the Creative Markets of Panama, an innovative platform that connects artists, entrepreneurs and creators with local public to project our cultural diversity, generating new opportunities for trade and growth for economic sector managers.

By 2025, 23 creative markets will be developed in different districts of Colón, Chiriquí, Los Santos, Darién, Veraguas, Coclé, Bocas del Toro and Panama, ensuring that these activities reach every corner of the country.

The Creative Markets have an inspiring course, workshop and talk about digital marketing and financial management and have live performances with local and national artists, art exhibitions, photo and sculpture, national films and a local products market with crafts, gastronomy, fashion and many other attractions.

"These markets do not only visualise the art and culture of the country but also promote the creative economy by facilitating the commercialization of goods, services and cultural experiences, by promoting local sustainable development, by generating jobs and by promoting the movement of goods and services by creators and entrepreneurs of the sector," says Miguel Fábrega, national director of Creative Economics.

Thus, MiCultura joins through national addresses of Cinema, The Arts, Creative Economics and Crafts, in partnership with local governments, companies and organisations, bringing art and culture to new audiences, strengthening Panama as a reference in promoting the economy of cultural managers and entrepreneurs of the region.
