The Fine Art programme at the Piet Zwart Institute is based on the premise that contemporary visual art is connected with a wider field of cultural and social practices. The programme connects artistic production with the public realm of discourse and display.

Our two-year course provides an international platform in which young artists can develop their practice through independent work as well as dialogue with artists, curators and theorists from a diversity of disciplines. We offer studio space and technical facilities, individual tutorial support, and an annually changing programme of thematic projects and lectures that function as a framework for the joint exploration of issues relevant to contemporary art and culture.

The Fine Art programme plays an active role in the art world. Part of our programme is a lively collaboration with practitioners and cultural institutions, a public series of lectures and screenings, and a series of publications.

Our programme is recognised and funded by the Dutch Ministry of Education.
