OPEN CALL FOR ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE 2023-24 | AIR PROGRAM Application Deadline: October 14, 2022 |

The Artist in Residence program of AGA LAB offers a special context for research, experimenting and the development of new work: a very wide range of printing techniques, technical expertise, a spacious gym as a workplace, exchange with (inter)national colleagues, the non-toxic method, an urban agricultural garden with ink plants and many creative neighbours.

The vision within the AiR program: AGA LAB stimulates research and experimentation in the field of ink, colour and image carriers, as well as crossovers between other disciplines and techniques.

Both national and international artists and designers can register for the Artist in Residence program. AGA LAB regularly invites artists with a specific research proposal.Artists, designers and photographers are also encouraged to submit a project proposal to AGA LAB themselves. The two AiR guest rooms are located in artists space Broedplaats BOUW, where the graphic studio is also located.AGA LAB is a creative space and laboratory for crossovers in technique, material, and image. Not only for the autonomous art field but also for the graphic, industrial and textile, digital, and social design fields. By being a platform, AGA LAB is the practical link between latent ideas and physical end results – a route of specialization, immersion, and experimentation. For many artists in the graphic art world, AGA LAB is a starting point for their work and stimulates their free-range and creative research. AGA LAB expressively searches for the dialogue between artists, designers and other creative professionals on social developments.
