The Van Eyck is a postacademic institute that has turned into an international multiform organization for fine art, design, and reflection. We are a multidisciplinary institute that furthers experiment, research, study, production and exchange. In our institute promising artists, designers, and curators are given the time and space that is needed to develop their talents, to discover as yet unexplored perspectives and delve into deeper layers of their selves. As of 2013 we have embarked on a new course, guided by our institutional compass. The rose of the compass is the comprehensive idea of porosity and fluidity; the four compass points encompass openness as well as connection, self-guidance as well as cooperation. In real terms, this means that the Van Eyck is a welcoming meeting-place where fluid connections exist between institute and surrounding world, between the various art disciplines and between the fields of art and science. The energy flows that are thus generated trigger myriad possibilities and bring the development of talent to a peak. You receive a monthly stipend of €900. From this you will have to deduct rent and living costs. Renting a room through the Van Eyck amounts to €350 a month, which leaves €550 to support yourself. It is our estimate that it takes an additional €300 a month to attain an acceptable standard of living. Each participant has an individual production budget of €2,000 per year.
