Call: De Ateliers, Amsterdam

De Ateliers is open to young artists who are at the beginning of their artistic development. Although de Ateliers does not impose a strict age limit, there is a preference for candidates up to 30 years of age. They should have a good command of the English language. A completed course of training and professional experience are not required; applications are considered on the basis of visual qualities.

De Ateliers is an independent artists' institute which is run by visual artists. It focuses on the artistic development of young, talented artists from within the Netherlands and abroad. The monumental building in the center of Amsterdam offers twenty-three spacious studios. These are placed at the disposal of beginning artists who wish to combine intensive self-motivation with critical guidance. Though similar to a post-academic teaching facility, de Ateliers is not an educational institution. Its policy as a foundation is determined by the supervising artists. Throughout the working year, teaching artists and art critics make individual studio visits every Tuesday.

Deadline: 1st February 2013
