Cultural programming and economic development in Cartagena

Overview

Cultural initiatives in Cartagena have transitioned from a focus on institutional accessibility to large-scale economic and social engagement.

Initially, the Isaac Peral House Museum implemented the ‘Isaac para todos’ initiative to improve inclusivity for visitors with various disabilities through haptic maps, sign language guides, and audiovisual subtitles.

Subsequently, the city’s cultural focus expanded to major festivities, such as the ‘preludios novembrinos’ celebrations for Independence. These events, supported by the Cartagena City Council and the Institute of Heritage and Culture of Cartagena (IPCC), reportedly generated over 1,000 jobs and involved approximately $1.67 billion COP in economic incentives to support the local cultural sector.

Recent reports confirm that independence festivities held in Canapote, El Pozón, and Blas de Lezo continued to drive local economic growth and job creation through significant cultural investment.
