Residents are supported with a studio, a working 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.Every year they select on average 22 artists for a residency, and most of the artists stay for two years, so the total community consists of about 45 artists. Half of the group is from the Netherlands, and the other half is from all around the world.What are they looking for?You have an original position in the field you are working in. This must be visible in the uploaded portfolio, which is the most important element of the jury process in the first round. Please try to make sure that your portfolio gives us a clear idea about the content and formal aspects of your practice. You have enough experience of independent practice (after education) to benefit from the critical environment at the Rijksakademie, but not too much experience that a residency cannot really add much in terms of artistic development, which is the main focus of the residency. You have a clear idea about how you would like to use the residency (what you need, and what you bring) and why that is important for you now.Having one- or two-years of time and space, facilities and feedback in an international and diverse artist community is a unique opportunity which can be a transformative experience for your work and thinking. You are willing and able to commit actively and full-time: to your own work but also to the highly diverse community of artists from all around the world you will be part of.
