Rijksakademie
The Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten (Royal Academy for Fine Arts) offers a residency program of two years for more than fifty young artists from all over the world. Each artist is given a studio and granted a small income, as well as having the possibility to use the various academy facilities such as library and workshops. During the Art Weekend the artists open their studios, giving the public an opportunity to discover contemporary trends and innovations in the arts and to meet up with upcoming young talents. The Rijksakademie is kind of an artwork itself, a labyrinth of tunnels, hidden rooms and secret ladders where you breathe creativity and enjoy the cultural exchange of ideas and inspiration.
