Guyana’s creative sector took center stage Wednesday at the World Trade Center Georgetown during the Orange Economy Forum, “From Creatives to Commerce.”
Industry leaders and artists discussed transforming creativity into viable business, highlighting arts, music, fashion, and cuisine as key economic drivers.
Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Charles Ramson Jr. stressed creativity’s role in societal progress.
Experts called for stronger arts education and global market strategies to grow Guyana’s “orange economy” and foster sustainable livelihoods.
The orange economy refers to the creative and cultural industries of a country—sectors where ideas, creativity, and cultural expression are turned into economic value.
It’s called “orange” because it symbolizes creativity, culture, and innovation, distinguishing it from traditional economic sectors like agriculture (green) or industry (gray).
