Call for Entries Rijksakademie Residency 2013
The ‘Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten' in Amsterdam (est. 1870) aims to
develop top talent in the international visual art world and promotes the
position of arts and artists in today’s society. By offering artistic,
theoretical and technical support the Rijksakademie creates an environment in
which about 50 emerging professional artists from all over the world can, for a
maximum of two years, work on deepening, broadening and accelerating their
profession – individually and socially.
In addition to facilities like a studio, work budget and stipend, the residents
can request feedback and support from internationally acclaimed artists and
theorists, who are connected to the Rijksakademie as advisors. In professionally
equipped workshops technicians collaborate with the artists in finding solutions
to create their work. The presence of different media makes inter-disciplinary
projects possible. Furthermore, the Rijksakademie hosts (historical) art
collections, an extensive library and artists’ documentation.
Application
Each year, out of more than 2000 applicants, about 25 artists are invited for
a residency. Artists can apply for the residency January-December 2013 by using
the online application form. A period at the Rijksakademie has the greatest
effect on an artists’ career with three to five years of professional experience
before applying.
The deadline for application is February 1, 2012.
Future Rijksakademie
Due to the upcoming cuts on the budget for culture by the Dutch government, the future of the Rijksakademie is at risk. In the course of 2012 it will become clear what will be the consequences for the Rijksakademie and how the residency program will look like in 2013. Starting point is that the Rijksakademie continues to offer facilities on artistic, technical and theoretical level. We apologize for the situation and ask for your understanding.
