A large-scale cultural event titled "Art Festival" will be organized in Baku through a partnership with the Center for Development of Cultural and Creative Industries (Creative Center) under the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The festival is scheduled to take place from May 1 to May 3 at the Park Bulvar Mall, remaining open to visitors daily from 10:00 to 22:00.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the primary objective of the project is to contribute to the development of cultural and creative industries, support local creators and brands, and establish an interactive art platform for the public. The event will feature more than 40 local brands and over 10 Azerbaijani artists, serving as a vital platform for creative entrepreneurs to present their products, engage with new audiences, and expand collaboration opportunities.
This initiative aligns with Azerbaijan's broader strategy to promote the creative economy and enhance the tourism appeal of the capital. By bridging the gap between art and entrepreneurship, the festival fosters a sustainable ecosystem for young talents and local production. In recent years, the Republic of Azerbaijan has significantly increased its focus on the "orange economy," recognizing creative industries as a key driver for non-oil sector growth and cultural diplomacy. The partnership with the Creative Center further underscores the state's commitment to uncovering young talent and strengthening the national creative infrastructure.
