			The Rijksakademie Research Residency in 
Amsterdam is an international research and production place for 
talented, professional artists from all over the world. The 
Rijksakademie is more than a residency. It has extensive technical 
facilities, a library, artists' documentation and art collections. In 
addition the Rijksakademie offers material basic facilities such as a 
studio, a work budget, mediation with accommodation and grants.

There are some fifty studios where resident artists work for one to 
two years on research, experiments, projects and production. 
Confrontation with diverse cultures and advice by renowned 
international artists, exhibition makers, theoreticians and technical 
specialists promote the deepening, expansion and acceleration of 
artistic practice. Practical experience has revealed that a work 
period at the Rijksakademie has the greatest effect three to five 
years after graduation.

Resident artists pursue every medium and technique: painting, 
drawing, graphics, photography, sculpture, video, film, sound and 
digital media. Links with other areas are also explored such as 
architecture and public space, theatre, music, literature and diverse 
scientific disciplines.

Each year approximately twenty-five artists are invited for a 
residency. Artists can apply for a residency from January to December
