The Government of the Canary Islands and Centro de Arte La Regenta have launched the call for the second edition of the programme Ktálisis nómada . Public educational institutions at all levels in the Autonomous Community, as well as artists from any discipline, may submit applications and project proposals by 4 December 2026. The aim is to bring contemporary artistic practice, school learning and local communities into closer contact.
According to the organisers, each selected educational institution will be paired with an arts education project. It will be delivered in collaboration between artists, teachers and three groups of pupils, each with up to 25 participants. Workshops and activities involving the whole school community are also planned. The call is open to public institutions providing Educación Infantil, Primaria, Secundaria, Bachillerato, Formación Profesional and Educación Especial.
The selection is intended to ensure a balanced distribution across the islands and to take account of the quality of collaboration between artists and educational institutions. Once the process is complete, the final list of selected projects and associated schools will be published on the Centro de Arte La Regenta website. Proposals and institutions not selected in this round will remain in a repository and register of interest for future calls.
Ktálisis nómada continues an initiative that grew out of the Ktálisis project, trialled towards the end of the previous school year in Gran Canaria . The new version, now launched, extends the approach to all the islands. The programme is funded by the Gobierno de Canarias and supported by the Spanish Ministry of Culture as part of the Plan de Derechos Culturales.
The organisers have set out the programme framework and the process for the upcoming selection. The announcement did not specify the number of projects to be funded or the financial or logistical support available to individual institutions. These details are expected to follow during the selection process. With this call, the cultural administration is responding to demand, built up since 2023, for structured partnerships between schools and the independent arts scene, and further embedding artistic learning in everyday teaching in the Canary Islands.
