Art School Residency

Period
October - November - December 2026
Duration
7 days

 Due to construction works, this residency will not be organised in 2024. Keep an eye on our website and newsletter for further updates. 

An Art School Residency is a unique opportunity for master and postgraduate students to develop a contemporary, print-related project, within the framework of their educational program and supervised by their own tutors. In a professional printmaking workshop and within the context of an international residency and exhibition space, participants are invited to experiment and realize their projects and this both in a self-directed way and under the supervision of their own teacher(s).

Please note: contrary to our five-week Artist Residency program, the Art School Residency program does not include educational training from our staff, nor masterclasses. Prior knowledge of printmaking techniques is therefore required or must be provided by supervising teachers or technicians. Our team will of course offer basic technical support if necessary.

A Residence for Art Schools lasts one week and runs from Friday (arrival between 2 pm and 4 pm) until Friday (departure before 11 am). Students must be supervised by at least one technically skilled teacher. The application must be made through the educational institution.

Price

Flat rate 1: € 625 per week* (max 4 students and max 2 teachers (of whom minimum 1 with prior knowledge of printmaking techniques)) 

Flat rate 2: € 975 per week* (max 8 students and max 2 teachers (of whom minimum 1 with prior knowledge of printmaking techniques))  

Flat rate 3: € 1300 per week* (max 12 students and max 2 teachers (of whom minimum 1 with prior knowledge of printmaking techniques))  

Each flat rate includes accommodation, use of the workshops and basic materials. Paper and specific inks are not included in the price and must be brought with you. Extras such as the use of our RISO printers and laser cutters, or digital photo prints, are charged at production cost. We ask that you bring your own bedding and towels; if desired, you can also borrow these for a fee (€10 per person). All additional costs are settled with the educational institution in one go, and not with students individually.

How to apply?
