If you’re part of Aruba’s Cultural and Creative Industries—whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, designer, teacher, performer, creative leader, or policymaker—CreActivo 2025 is where the future of your work is being shaped.
We’re done with waiting. This year, we’re owning the blueprint.
The Time Is Now
For too long, Aruba’s creative sector has been undervalued, underfunded, and underestimated.
We’ve had to justify our existence. Beg for recognition. Create impact with little to no support.
That time is over.
The national mapping of Aruba’s Cultural and Creative Industries is putting hard data behind what we’ve always known:
Culture is not decoration. It’s infrastructure.
And CreActivo is where we turn data into direction.
What Makes CreActivo Different?
This isn’t a talk-fest. This isn’t “just another event.”
CreActivo 2025 is the moment the sector steps into strategy.
Here’s what you’ll get:
✅ Actionable intelligence from the national CCIs mapping
✅ Unfiltered conversations with policymakers and funders
✅ Activations that lead to real outcomes
✅ Tools to grow your impact—and your income
✅ A sector-wide Co-Ownership Pledge to hold us all accountable
This isn’t for passive attendees. It’s for active builders.
