The Rijksakademie is a two-year residency programme that annually offers 50 artists space for research, experimentation and for the production of new work. Residents are supported with a studio, a work budget and a stipend and can seek advice from leading art professionals from a wide variety of cultural and creative backgrounds. In addition there is a rich research and production infrastructure, consisting of various technical workshops operated by specialists, a library and a historical and contemporary art collection. Within the interdisciplinary environment of the Rijksakademie there is complete freedom in research and working methods.
