Rijksakademie Residency 2027

The Rijksakademie welcomes international artists to develop their work over a one or two-year residency period in Amsterdam, starting from January 2027. The residency is open to artists working in Craft/Traditional Arts, Photography, Drawing, Film/Video/New Media, Mixed-Media/Multi-Discipline, Painting, and Sculpture.

Residents are supported with a studio, a work budget, and a stipend. The Rijksakademie houses a highly international, multi-disciplinary, experimental and critically engaged artist community. Residents benefit from an array of opportunities for exchange, including peer-to-peer dialogue and visits from leading art professionals. They have access to technical workshops, an extensive library, and a historical collection. Guidance is provided by technical specialists who foster hands-on, innovative and collaborative approaches to making.
