Every year the Françoise van den Bosch Foundation invites jewellery artists from outside the Netherlands to apply for a working period in Amsterdam. This residency not only offers a live/work studio but also the chance to develop new work in one of the most vibrant jewellery communities in the world.

• The Residency

  The Françoise van den Bosch Foundation and Studio Rian de Jong offer jewellery artists three months (1 March 1st to 31 May) of time and space to do research and/or work out new ideas. Studio Rian de Jong is well equipped and includes a full-furnished apartment. There is a grant of € 500 towards material expenses.

• Who is it for?

  The resident must be a professional from outside The Netherlands working within the context of jewellery, adornment or body related objects.

• Requirements

  The resident must be self-reliant and willing to engage with the local jewellery community. The Foundation is happy to assist in this and help make introductions where needed.

  The resident is expected to give a lecture at the Jewellery – Linking Bodies department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. The lecture is open for to jewellery students and teachers of the Academy, Friends of the Foundation and anyone interested.
