DIVE FESTIVAL 2026: CURRENTS
Date: 1-2-3 May 2026
Place: T.B.A
What Is The DIVE Festival?
DIVE Festival is an art festival organized by ACE's EXPO committee, welcoming creativity of any and all kinds of genres and disciplines to be exhibited for a curious audience. Young, upcoming artists from all disciplines present new and existing works about an annual theme that is decided in the beginning of the year. Expect: creative stories, visual and digital art, music, installations and creative workshops !
Why Is This Year's Theme "Currents"?
Current is defined as both the present moment and a continuous flow, like moving water. Nowadays, with the ongoing movement of people and culture, art is becoming interconnected. Chosen by the EXPO committee, this theme reflects how art carries stories across borders and blurs the lines between countries. It acknowledges how artists today are shaped by movement, collaboration, and shared experience across continents.
In the creative world, art moves between multiple worlds, carrying fragments of home while creating something entirely new. Like ocean currents, these influences are not always visible, but they are powerful. DIVE is the place where artists from across disciplines create performances and exhibitions that feel fresh and bold, set in sound, movement, and visual worlds.
What Is Upcoming?
The EXPO Committee is actively working on curating a Pitch Night that will take place on the 25th of February for artists to pitch their ideas and show off their work. Applications for the Pitch Night will be open soon, so stay tuned for all the event and application details.
