EU Delegation to the United States of America: Transatlantic Stars Programme 2027 (USA)
Overview
The Transatlantic Stars Programme 2027, administered by the EU Delegation to the United States, is a cultural diplomacy initiative structured to facilitate sustained artistic research and presentation between the European Union and the United States. While the host organization is not identified in the available information, the programme's architecture—significant production support, visa assistance, and on-site facilities—indicates an institutional framework designed for artists whose practices benefit from extended international engagement rather than brief exhibitionary gestures. For visual artists, the residency provides international and domestic airfare, on-site lodging, studio space, access to host facilities, equipment, and community networks, visa assistance, a stipend of 4,000 EUR, and a materials budget of 500 EUR. Musicians receive international and domestic travel, accommodation, visa assistance, meals, and on-the-ground support. Filmmakers are also eligible, though specific support details are not enumerated in the provided facts. The programme does not specify a fee, and the deadline for applications is 30 October 2026. The curatorial vision centers on transatlantic exchange, with an emphasis on creative practices that engage with the movement of ideas, people, and forms across the EU and the US. The residency's structure suggests a preference for projects that require time, space, and institutional access to develop, rather than those already complete. Artists working across disciplines—particularly those whose work is informed by cross-cultural research, site-specific inquiry, or collaborative methodologies—may find the programme's resources aligned with their needs.
