Attention Artists – Reminder – Holland Residencies

Rijksakademie Residency:
Call for entries
Deadline: 01 Feb 2011

From Rijksakademie Residency:
Each year, around twenty-five artists are invited for a residency. Artists can apply for the residency January to December 2012 by using the online application form.

The Rijksakademie Residency in Amsterdam is an artists’ institute for emerging, professional artists from all continents. It is more than a residency. It has extensive technical facilities, a specialized art library and art collections. In addition, the Rijksakademie offers basic facilities such as a studio, a work budget and mediation with accommodation and grants.

There are approximately fifty studios where resident artists work for a period of one to two years on research, experiment, projects and production. Confrontation with diverse cultures and advice by internationally active artists, curators and others, promote the deepening, expansion and acceleration of artistic practice.

A period at the Rijksakademie has the greatest effect on an artists’ career, with three to five years of professional experience before applying.

Resident artists pursue all major contemporary visual art disciplines: painting, drawing, graphics, photography, print-making, sculpture, video, film, sound, performance and digital media. Links with other disciplines such as architecture, music, dance, literature, cinematography and scientific fields are possible.
