Support an Artist

Do you want to make a direct impact on an artist's practice? A Fellowship is one of the most meaningful forms of support. With a contribution of €20,000 per year, you finance a resident's monthly stipend and follow the artistic process up close.

Thanks to your contribution, an artist or tech fellow who is following a traineeship in the workshops can focus entirely on research, experimentation and development. As a fellowship supporter, you are closely involved. You meet the artist or tech fellow in person and get to know their world.

What you can expect

  • Personal updates on the work process
  • Meeting with the artist or tech fellow
  • Invitation to all regular events
  • Special events for Innovators
  • Invitation to international events
  • Mention as a supporter (optional)


Would you like to do even more? You can also support a full residency. A Fellowship covers the basics: the accommodation and stipend of an artist or tech fellow. But a residency naturally involves much more – such as access to materials, workshops and mentoring sessions with international advisors. With your support for a residency, you make the entire process possible.

Support the Rijksakademie

Give space to research, experimentation and growth.

Would Mondriaan have become Mondriaan without his stay at the Rijksakademie? And what about Berlage, Breitner or Appel? Or more recently Monira Al Qadiri, Otobong Nkanga or Fiona Tan?

    For over 150 years, the Rijksakademie has been a place where artists dare to experiment, ask questions and reinvent themselves. Where they immerse themselves for two years in an environment that challenges, nourishes and strengthens them. By supporting the Rijksakademie, you help to preserve this space – and contribute to the art of tomorrow.

    Together, we ensure that artists can develop, that new voices are being heard, and that art can continue to have impact. And you receive something special in return: exclusive access to our workshops, meetings with artists, and a glimpse behind the scenes of an international art community.
