Hidupkan Pasar Tradisional, Pemkot Madiun Gandeng Pelaku Usaha Kreatif

KOMPAS.TV MADIUN – The Madiun City Government continues to innovate in optimizing the use of public facilities. Through the Youth Creativity Week event, which officially kicked off Tuesday night, the Sleko Market area has been given new life by converting several empty kiosks into a space for creative economy (ekraf) actors. This strategic step was taken to revitalize activity at the traditional market while providing a showcase for local creative talents. To attract creative entrepreneurs, the Madiun City Government is implementing a proactive policy of waiving kiosk rental fees for the first six months. The public response has been positive; dozens of applicants have participated in a curation and selection process tailored to the availability of kiosks at Sleko Market. This concept is designed not just as a sales space, but as a community hub that will foster a new creative ecosystem in Madiun City. As part of its long-term vision, the Madiun City Government plans to undertake a comprehensive redevelopment, particularly on the second floor of Sleko Market. This transformation is expected to erode the rigid image of traditional markets and transform them into modern, youth-friendly creative market destinations. To maintain the sustainability of this economic pulse, the Department of Culture, Tourism, Youth, and Sports (Disbudparpora) and the Creative Economy Forum will regularly hold various supporting activities. These include acoustic music performances and community exhibitions, which will be regularly held, accompanied by rigorous evaluation during the ecosystem's trial period. #SlekoMarket #MadiunCreativeEconomy #MadiunCityGovernment #MadiunInfo #MadiunNews #YouthCreativityWeek #MadiunCulinary #MadiunUMKM #CreativeMarket #EastJava #KompasTVMadiun #MadiunYoungPeople
