XVI Bienal de Arte Joven UNL 2026 Open Call

The XVI Bienal de Arte Joven UNL has opened registration for young artists from the city of Santa Fe and the surrounding region in Argentina. Organized by the Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL) and the Federacion Universitaria del Litoral (FUL), the biennial is open to artists between 13 and 30 years old and will take place from October 12 to 17, 2026 at the Foro Cultural UNL.

For more than thirty years, the Bienal de Arte Joven has sustained an uninterrupted cultural program that invites young artists to share their work in a setting built around free expression, exchange and collective creation. This edition reaffirms that spirit by opening six fields of expression: Music, Audiovisuals, Performing Arts, Literature, Visual Arts and Hybrids, understood as territories for exploring contemporary languages and circulating work in diverse formats.

Registration takes place online from June 11 to 28, 2026 through the forms available on the official Bienal website. Participation is open to young artists residing in the city of Santa Fe and the region. The biennial consolidates the Foro Cultural UNL, located at 9 de Julio 2150, as a space for encounter, training, creation and the circulation of emerging artistic production.

Artists working across the six disciplines are encouraged to register within the open window and to consult the official call for the specific requirements of each field. The program is designed as a meeting point for emerging voices and a platform for new work to reach audiences during the October event.
