bay arts alliance 8 harrison avenue panama city, florida 32401 local art and culture For the Love of the Arts!!! Art and Culture in Bay County The beaches of Bay County are world-famous, but the sophistication of the area surprises some visitors and many new residents. Panama City was recently named " Number 6 " of the "100 Best Small Art Towns in America" (John Villani, Muit Press, 1997). The scenic downtown area borders on St. Andrew Bay and hosts a wide variety of local treasures including the Visual Arts Center, The Martin Theater, McKenzie Park and the Marina Civic Center. Nestled among numerous art galleries, shops, restaurants and historic sites, residents and visitors alike are often challenged to choose between an assortment of cultural venues and events. But the arts in Bay County are not limited to just one area. Cultural resources and activities can be found throughout the county that borders the Emerald Coast. The residents of Bay County value cultural opportunities and support a variety of arts organizations and annual events. The numerous theater groups, ballet companies, orchestras, festivals and museums that consider Bay County their home make evident the community's commitment to artistic diversity. The excellence of the Arts is also apparent in the variety of concerts, shows and art exhibits that travel to the area annually. The premium quality of these events is considered to be equivalent, if not better, than similar efforts in larger urban areas. The wealth of culture available to the people of Bay County blends with an old-fashioned work ethic to bring an energy and enthusiasm to the workplace that is a key ingredient of business success.

You can also view the Casas Reales - the compound where the Spanish customs and treasury was located. Towards the Major Square (Plaza Mayor), you'll find the City Hall, the cathedral and the Bishop's house. The Cathedral of our Lady of the Assumption, constructed between 1519 and 1626, is the best preserved of all the buildings. Following the style of the time, it is cross shaped. The bell tower was located at the back and probably served a double purpose as bell tower and watch tower of the royal houses.

HOFSTEDE SCORES Countries Arab World Argentina Australia Austria ... West Africa * Description for each of Hofstede's Dimensions listed below Panama has Power Distance (PDI) as the highest ranking Hofstede Dimension at 95. This score of 95 is tied with Guatemala as the highest Power Distance of all Latin American countries, where the average is 70. (see the Latin Graph below) This high Power Distance (PDI) ranking for Panama is indicative of a high level of inequality of power and wealth within the society. This condition is not necessarily forced upon the population, but rather accepted by the society as part of their cultural heritage.

The course is open to all students, but students enrolled in regular ITEC courses have priority. Enrollment limit: 10 students. Course Dates: Summer A, June 12-25, Winter Session, January 9-22 COURSE DESCRIPTION This is a unique course that travels the length and breadth of Panama, offering a comprehensive, firsthand experience with its diverse tropical ecosystems and cultures. This mixing of culture and environment may seem at odds but it actually mirrors the relationship between indigenous people and the natural ecosystems on which they depend. Tropical ecosystems and cultures are inextricably intertwined. This course is demanding both academically and socially due to the nature of its design. Interpersonal skills and patience are particularly useful. Comparative projects and a final report that involves some aspect of ecology, anthropology, or ethnobotany will be required in the course.
