The Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten 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.

As an artist, you are ready to make the most of these resources. You are open to developing and challenging yourself, working alongside positions that are vastly different from your own, and to 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.

We offer residencies with the goal of providing space for research, reflection, experiment and exchange. Every year we select on average 22 artists for a residency. Most artists stay for two years, bringing the community to a total of 45 artists. Half of the group is from or based in the Netherlands, the other half from all over the world.

Selected artists usually have finished a BA/MA education, and must have at least 2-3 years of independent professional practice before starting a residency at the Rijksakademie.

We are inviting artists for the period September 2024–August 2025, with the possibility of staying one year more. Please note that building maintenance work is scheduled for autumn 2025, which will potentially cause a short disruption to the residency.

You can apply by completing the online application form that will be available on our website between September 1 [12am CET] and October 1 [11:59pm CET], 2023.
