The Jan van Eyck is open to candidates from a wide array of disciplines and approaches, ranging from material-based to research-driven practices, addressing both urgent global issues and more personal inquiries. Selected Jan van Eyck participants share an inquisitive and considerate attitude toward the other and the world, their work testifies to an art practice that is investigative and committed. 

Participants not only follow their individual trajectories but also develop themselves in relation to their peers. During the residency, they share their stories, curiosities, practices, have an opportunity to learn from and support each other, collaborate, and experiment across disciplines. Furthermore, participants can get actively involved in institutional (public) programmes where speculative concepts are tested and the pressing socio-environmental challenges of today are debated.  

Every year, the Jan van Eyck commits to fostering a broad, diverse coalition of participants, advisers, and collaborative partners – a framework that embraces a diversity of practices and allows for a multitude of voices.
