2026: Moving Our Diaspora Forward Where Access and Opportunity Meet

​Communities take shape through shared direction and the people willing to grow together. The beginning of a year sets more than a calendar. It sets connection, strategy, and momentum.

​This gathering marks the beginning of the Nativas year, bringing together the artists, creatives, and cultural voices of our diaspora and setting the direction for 2026. It bridges people with opportunities across Europe and internationally, reinforcing our mission to elevate creative work to the global stage and use creativity as a tool for impact.

​You gain a clear overview of our 2026 programming calendar and a practical understanding of how we create access and visibility:

​Current and upcoming grant open calls and residency opportunities in Europe and internationally

​Guidance on approaching opportunities strategically to increase the chance of success

​Speaking, facilitation, and open roles opportunities within the Nativas platform

​Connection to a growing and diverse community shaping the global cultural landscape

​This space is for artists, creatives, and cultural leaders of the Americas, living across Europe and the world, shaping cross-border impact through creativity — grounded in access, strategy, and the strength of a diaspora moving forward together.

Come attentive. Leave with vision, connected, and ready for the year ahead. You belong here.
