The Rijksakademie welcomes applications from artists to develop their work over one or two-year periods in Amsterdam.

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.

The Rijksakademie offer residencies with the goal of providing space for research, reflection, experiment and exchange. Artists are encouraged to make the most of these resources to challenging themselves, and to be working alongside positions that are vastly different from theirs. Spending up to two years in residence, artists will enter into an open-ended process where they can deepen their practices, and explore new territories, in and beyond the art field.
