Artistic Research Festival

The Artistic Research Days are a joint initiative between the six Master programs of Fontys Fine and Performing Arts to celebrate Artistic Research as a fundamental approach enhancing artistic and educational processes.

Master Arts Education, Master Performing Public Space, Master of Music, Master of Architecture, Master of Urbanism and Master Choreography collaborate to create an interactive festival offering participants a meaningful context to exchange and explore artistic research insights, theory, case studies and relevant practices.

The cross-disciplinary nature of this endeavor feeds into the institutional urge to expand artistic boundaries and to understand multidisciplinarity as an important element in the arts, within an international context.

Each Artistic Research Day is framed through topics of importance in the art world today. Behind the framing is the will to facilitate artistic research projects which expand beyond established arts practices and allow students to connect these respective practices to their surroundings. This supports a belief in the immense potential of the arts for exploring alternative modes of co-existing and co-creating.
