Principal Residency Program

La Becque launched a new call for applications for its Principal Residency Program for 2026 and the first months of 2027 (January–March).

A unique environment for artistic research
The Principal Residency Program—La Becque’s core program—provides artists with the opportunity to work in a stimulating and immersive research environment. The program places particular emphasis on projects that focus on the intersection between nature, the environment, and technology—three dimensions that are increasingly interconnected and at the heart of today’s artistic and societal concerns.

Guest Room: Iris Sikking & Fleurie Kloostra

Guest Room aims to inspire collaboration and creative exchange. In this edition, Iris Sikking, curator of photography at Fotomuseum Den Haag, partners with Fleurie Kloostra, curator at Melkweg Expo - an exhibition space dedicated to contemporary photography and a platform for emerging artists in the heart of Amsterdam.

Together, they introduce the theme for your submissions:

Dynamic Perspective

“The times we live in today (the current zeitgeist) require an open and constantly evolving perspective in order to create positive change. Only then can we gain valuable insights into different points of view and truly connect. Isn't the strength of a civilization found purely in respect and empathy for people, nature and non-living entities?

FAIL PROUDLY - Artistic call-out for residency

Isla de Crear is a creative centre, combining a range of disciplines, to explore creating
and crafting in a new method, away from commercial constraints or industry
guidelines.
For our new call-out, we are looking for artists, craftspeople, thinkers and creatives
from all different fields to explore the theme: FAIL PROUDLY

We are purposefully keeping the theme as broad as possible, and encourage you to
think as tangentially as possible. We are not looking for the same ol’ works, but
instead want to encourage all our visiting creatives to challenge themselves into
doing new things and exploring new forms.
