The Rijksakademie Residency in Amsterdam is an international research and production place for emerging, professional artists from all continents. The Rijksakademie is more than a residency. It has extensive technical facilities, a library and an art collection. In addition, the Rijksakademie offers basic facilities such as a studio, assistance by technical specialists, a work budget, and 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 internationally active artists, curators and others, promote the deepening, expansion and acceleration of artistic practice.

A period at the Rijksakademie has the greatest effect on an artists' career, three to five years of professional experience before applying.

Resident artists pursue every medium and technique: painting, drawing, graphics, photography, sculpture, video, film, sound and digital media. Artists can also explore links with other areas, such as architecture, theatre, music, literature and science.

Application
Each year approximately twenty-five artists are invited for a residency. Artists can apply for a residency from January to December 2010 by using the online application form. The deadline for application is 1 February 2009.

OSU Urban Arts Space: Idea Lab Program Proposals


The OSU Urban Arts Space has just launched an exciting new program called the Idea Lab, an incubator for student ideas. Any Ohio State University student from any discipline can submit a concept or "seed" idea during our open application period - now through February 2, 2009 - for the opportunity to earn up to $3500 in project funding made possible by a generous grant from the Efroymson Family Fund, a CICF Fund. Once proposals are accepted, the students will work with the Idea Lab's creative staff of graduate and undergraduate students to flesh out the project, product, or event and turn it into a reality. The Idea Lab requests that a faculty member sponsor each accepted student and their project to provide additional mentoring throughout the process.

The type of supports available through the Idea Lab will vary according to the proposal at hand but will potentially include marketing and advertising assistance, budgeting help, time management advice, brainstorming development, technical and aesthetic expertise, collaboration experience, problem solving strategies and audience development techniques. Students who participate in the Idea Lab program will have an innovative educational opportunity, as well as, a practical entrepreneurial experience. By helping students to navigate the entire creative process from formulation, to implementation, to evaluation, the OSU Urban Arts Space Idea Lab will help generate Ohio State graduates capable of creative problem solving and idea development.

If you have questions, desire more information or would like an application, please email the Idea Lab at UASIdeaLab@osu.edu or call 614.292.8861
