WE LOVE ART. WE WANT YOU TO,TOO!
The Center for the Arts building is owned by the City of Panama City and managed by the Bay Arts Alliance, whose mission is to support, promote, and develop the arts as essential to the growth of our community.
How do we do it? Through awesome, free exhibitions (it's always free to visit), super cool classes, and crazy, fun events. Visit us soon, and visit us often because new things are always happening and we don't want you to miss out!
The Arts
Center
In the center of Panama City
Take all the films, drawings, paintings, photography, writing, and music out of the world. What's left?
Nothing fun, that's for sure.
We could bore you with all the facts and figures on how important the arts are to society, but instead, we'll just ask you to come visit us.
We want you to experience art in person and become inspired. And we want you to keep coming back for more!
Hang out in our self-serve cafe with coffee you bought at Vinny and Bay's, or find inspiration in our quiet art library. Check out our latest exhibitions after a downtown work lunch, or come by our local artist gift shop to buy perfect, one-of-a-kind treasures for friends and family.
Come see the art, take a class, or attend an event. We'd love to have you!
Where are we? We're located in the center of downtown historic Panama City in the beautiful 1925 City Hall building on the corner of E 4th St and Harrison Ave. See you soon!
