Baltimore – July 14, 2026 – Mid Atlantic Arts is thrilled to announce the 2026-2027 Performing Arts Global Exchange (PAGE) funded engagements. PAGE is a nationwide grant program designed to increase availability of international performing arts programming throughout the United States, and to promote greater cultural understanding through the performing arts. PAGE provides fee support grants to nonprofit presenting venues that book an artist from an annually curated roster. The 2026-2027 PAGE touring roster features artists from Spain and Portugal.

In total, $164,560, supported through funding from the National Endowment for the Arts will support 41 engagements in 24 states, in all six Regional Arts Organizations’ jurisdictions.

Mid Atlantic Arts selected three curators with knowledge of the performing arts in Spain and Portugal to nominate music, dance, or theater artists and ensembles to be considered for the roster. Performing arts presenters across the United States completed an online survey to gather feedback on potential roster artists before the final roster was announced.

The 2026-2027 PAGE Engagements are:

Antonio Lizana | Music | Spain

Birdie by Agrupación Señor Serrano | Theater | Spain

Danzas Solemnes by Cristina Cazorla Company | Dance | Spain

Lucibela | Music | Portugal

Pedro Pastor y Los Locos Descalzos | Music | Spain

PAGE is a program of Mid Atlantic Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. View all Performing Arts Global Exchange artist bios and engagements on our website.
