Dear Student
of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp
The Academy’s educational programme is powered by Art & Research. Some of your teachers are not only artists and educators but also researchers in the arts. Art & Research crosses and mingles all the different disciplines taught in our school and undertakes several initiatives for you to engage with the research projects developed in our Academy.
Every year, about fifteen artists start a new research project at the Academy. Over a period of one, two, or four years, they investigate and deepen a particular dimension of their practice. Hereby they focus on artistic, material, cultural, ecological, or social challenges that are relevant today and for the future.
Artist-researchers share their knowledge, experiences, and expertise with students. Through workshops, lectures, performances, studio visits, and more, they infuse the school’s programme with new, enriching, and thought-provoking perspectives on art and the art world.
In this brochure, we provide insights into what you can expect in the 2024-2025 academic year to acquaint yourself with research in the arts.
It's up to you to decide which paths to choose, what to explore, and where to deepen your knowledge or skills.
(Re)search and find!
We look forward to welcoming you.
