Get matched →Transatlantic Stars, an initiative of the European Union, brings mid-career European visual artists together with American artists, local communities, and industry professionals. This eight-week professional residency in the United States, taking place from April 8 through June 12, 2027, across six diverse U.S. Artist Residency Programs, aims to encourage collaboration, exchange, and long-term professional relationships. Participants will work alongside U.S. artists, engage deeply with local communities, and contribute to a more connected transatlantic cultural space. The program culminates in a trip to Washington, D.C., for the 2027 EU State of the Arts Night, featuring an exhibition of developed work.
The program is designed for mid-career visual artists from Europe who are committed to their artistic practice, open to collaboration and cultural exchange, and ready to develop their work through meaningful engagement with new communities and contexts. Participants will also act as cultural ambassadors, contributing to people-to-people connections between Europe and the United States.
Residency sites span a wide range of settings across the United States, including a small fishing community on the Gulf of Alaska, a coastal Oregon ecological tract, a Southern urban arts hub, a Midwestern prairie town, a ranch in the American West, and a studio in the woods of Louisiana outside New Orleans. Information on individual locations and the opportunity to express preferences will be available when the submissions portal opens.
