From March 18 to 22, 2026, the second edition of Pinta Panamá Art Week will take place, positioning Panama as a meeting point for contemporary art in Central America and its dialogue with other regions of the continent. Under the artistic direction of Irene Gelfman and a curatorial committee, a public and curated agenda will activate the city over five consecutive days through exhibitions, tours, conversations, and cultural experiences, inviting audiences to engage with the strength of the local art scene and to recognize the connections that traverse the region.
Cinco días de arte y cultura en toda la ciudad. Durante Pinta Panamá Art Week, instituciones, fundaciones y galerías participan con una programación especial de exposiciones, recorridos, conversaciones y experiencias que invitan a descubrir la escena artística local.
In the second edition of Pinta Panama Art Week, institutions, museums, cultural centers, and contemporary art galleries from across the city will participate, creating a key synergy to promote and highlight Central American culture.
The FORO of Pinta Panamá Art Week 2026, a program curated by Irene Gelfman, reaffirms its commitment to reflection on Central American contemporary art. This edition broadens its regional perspective and positions Panama as a meeting point between Central America and the world — a territory where networks are woven, ideas circulate, and bridges are built between diverse scenes, as well as between the North and the South of the continent. Through the participation of international guests and local leaders, the FORUM proposes a space for exchange that strengthens the region’s presence within the global art landscape.
The collaboration between both institutions will promote cultural platforms, professional gatherings, and spaces for dialogue to support Latin American art and its international projection.

On the Amador Causeway, right at the entrance to the Panama Canal of the Pacific Ocean, is the Museum of Biodiversity, with a structure that does not go unnoticed both for its shapes and for its color. It is an avant-garde building that coexists with the natural environment
