Panama City, April 30, 2026. Last April 28, Fest 2026 Visual Arts was opened at the Museo de la Ciudad de las Artes gallery, a space that brings together national creativity and talent.

At its sixth edition, this meeting, launched by the Ministry of Culture, brings together artists, collective and public at large and promotes innovation, reflection and dialogue about visual arts.

With the participation of 135 artists, the festival has a diversity of programs that cover exhibitions of painting, sculpture, photography, video art, installations and performance, and as a key platform to visualize contemporary Panamanian production and to promote cultural exchange.

As part of his training agenda, master workshops are held from April 30 to May 10 in different artistic disciplines, run by well-known creators as Kevin Quintero and Andrea Cuervo, who share tools and creative processes with students and emerging artists.

One of the most significant moments of the opening was the tribute to iconic figures of national art: Nilsa Justavino de López, Edgar Urriola Espino and Jaime Caballero Luzcando, recognized for his outstanding trajectories and contributions to strengthening his cultural heritage. The public was also able to participate in a conversation with his honors, leading to a valuable exchange of experiences and knowledge.

The Fest 2026 Visual Arts is a model that promotes the work of the cultural sector by generating spaces for exhibition, training and meeting and by offering economic incentives that stimulate artistic creation and energize the cultural economy.

The exhibition will be open to the public until May 10, with free entrance to the City of the Arts.
The invitation extends to all citizens to come closer, to explore different proposals and to be part of an experience that links with contemporary sensitivities, stories and looks at Panamanian art.
