Panama City Center for the Arts

At the corner of Harrison Avenue and 4th Street in Historic Downtown Panama City is the Panama City Center for the Arts. This beautiful structure, built in 1925, is owned by the City of Panama City and managed by Bay Arts Alliance.

Bay Arts Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the mission to support, promote, and develop the arts as essential to the growth of our community. The Center is home to exciting and diverse exhibits, interactive classes, and special events that offer fun and entertainment for the entire family.

Whether you love pottery, painting, other creative arts, or just want to enjoy “artful” surroundings – this is the place to be! Admission to The Center is always free to the public.

Visit our galleries, shop for locally created items in our gift shop, attend a class, or join us for special events. Our building belongs to everyone, and we hope to see you soon!
