Ontwikkelingsresidentie in 2027

Are you a visual artist looking for time, space, and new challenges to further develop your artistic practice?
At MASEREEL we host around thirty-six artists annually, spread over four periods with nine residents each. The international and experimental profile of our residents ensures an inspiring diversity of artistic practices and encourages valuable exchanges between artists.

From April to December 2027, MASEREEL is organizing three residency periods, each lasting six weeks, for a group of nine international artists—ranging from emerging to established.

Would you like to broaden or deepen your artistic practice in professionally equipped graphic studios, exchange ideas with fellow residents, visiting tutors, and MASEREEL’s artistic staff, and experiment, create, and reflect in a stimulating, wooded environment? Then apply by the 11th of May 2026 (11:00 a.m. CET) using the online form.

Good to know: the focus of this residency program is on development, creation, and reflection. Prior knowledge of printmaking techniques is not required.

The selected artists will stay in MASEREEL’s brand-new artists’ pavilion.

Participation fee

The high-quality accompaniment provided during our Development Residencies is a labour-intensive and costly undertaking. Thanks to an important basic subsidy from the Flemish Community, we are able to limit the participation fee for a six-week residency – including accommodation – to €2,500. This covers approximately 1/6th of the actual cost.

We encourage artists to seek additional funding for the participation fee, as well as for costs such as transport, food and materials.

Disclaimer: Kunstwerkt encourages organizers to keep open calls accessible. There is a participation fee for this open call. We explicitly state these costs so that you, as an artist, can make an informed decision.
