Jan van Eyck Academie | Residency 2026
Jan Van Eyck Academie supports all kinds of artistic practice in an 11-month residency
Artists and designers coming from all fields, architects, curators, writers and other artistic researchers, makers and critical thinkers, including duos and collectives, are invited to apply for an 11-month residency taking place in 2026 at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, the Netherlands.
Each selected participant receives the time and space to further their artistic practice with the expert support of our advisers, the curator/resident liaison, the departments of Nature Research and Education & Development, as well as the library and the labs – Photography & Audiovisual, Material Matters, Food, Printing & Publishing, and Future Materials. Participants not only work in their individual trajectories but also develop themselves in relation to their peers. During the residency, they share their stories and their practices. It is in the convergence of these worlds where one truly gets to understand and support one another, where new ideas sprout, and interdisciplinary collaborations begin.
The Jan van Eyck is open to a wide array of disciplines and approaches, ranging from material-based to research-driven practices, addressing both urgent global issues and more personal inquiries. What the Jan van Eyck participants share is an inquisitive and considerate attitude toward the other and the world, their work testifies to an art practice that is investigative and committed.
