Call for Applications – Rijksakademie Residency 2024/2025
Between 1 September and 1 October 2023, interested artists can apply for the Rijksakademie residency that starts September 2024.
Application deadline: 1 October (23:59 hours CET), 2023
The Rijksakademie houses a highly international, multi-disciplinary, experimental and critically engaged artist community. Residents are supported with a studio, a work budget and a stipend and benefit from an array of opportunities for exchange, including peer to peer dialogue and visits from a wide range of leading art professionals. They have access to technical workshops as well as an extensive library and a historical collection. There is guidance by technical specialists, who foster hands-on, innovative and collaborative approaches to making.
As an artist, you are ready to make the most of these resources. You are open to developing and challenging yourself, to working alongside positions that are vastly different from your own, and being part of a community. Spending up to two years in residence, you enter into an open-ended process where you can deepen your practices, and explore new territories, in and beyond the art field
There are no formal age restrictions for an application to the Rijksakademie, although most applicants are between 26 and 35 years old. The average age of the artists at the Rijksakademie is 30.
We recommend artists under 26 years old to wait some years before applying for a residency. Artists of 36 years and older can apply, but we advise them to clearly explain why it is important to come to the Rijksakademie at this moment in their development
