Residency Opportunity in the Netherlands

A residency at the Rijksakademie is intended for artists who want to focus for a longer period on experimentation, in which they want to question and challenge their work, open up their practice and thinking, and who want to participate in and contribute to the residency in an active way, by engaging with peers, advisors and facilities in the Rijksakademie. The residency is open to visual artists from all countries and all disciplines.

Residents are supported with a studio, a work budget and a stipend and can seek advice from leading art professionals from a wide variety of cultural and creative backgrounds. In addition there is a rich research and production infrastructure, consisting of various technical workshops operated by specialists, a library and a historical and contemporary art collection.

The application period for residency year 2025/2026* is from 1 September until 1 October 2024.

* Please note that the Rijksakademie has forthcoming maintenance work that may affect the schedule for 2025/2026. This means that the beginning of the residency could be delayed until January 2026. This will be known before the interviews in January 2025.
