Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten
About this opportunity
The Rijksakademie is one of the world's most respected post-academic residency programmes for visual artists. Based in Amsterdam, it offers a two-year residency with generous studio space, production facilities, and sustained critical dialogue with advisors and an international peer group.
Application tips
The selection process involves a portfolio review followed by studio visits or interviews. Focus your application on demonstrating an ambitious, evolving artistic practice rather than a finished body of work. The programme values risk-taking and intellectual rigour.
