Our education enables students to function at a high level as creative artists, applied artists or as teachers. Graduates are able to contribute to constant renewal in art and quality in society. ArtEZ’s education also draws strength in a broad sense, from the disciplines of visual art, design, architecture, music, dance and theatre.
ArtEZ stands for an internationally recognised standa...rd of quality in art education. Graduates know their position and the power they hold. They have developed their artistry and craftsmanship and know how to imbue their art with societal meaning through working with others. They are prepared for professional practice at the highest level and in an international context.
At ArtEZ, art is given space to be of significance to others: for individuals, groups and organisations. ArtEZ feels it is partly responsible for an attractive and stimulating cultural environment as well as for the cultural infrastructure in the eastern Netherlands, in particular its locations in Arnhem, Enschede and Zwolle.
A certain tension is required in art education. Issues of society or professional practice are sometimes focused on short-lived trends or immediate practical applicability. However, professional practice ultimately benefits from encouraging and guaranteeing the autonomy and individuality of students. These form the basis for the development of artistry and are a prerequisite for truly innovative art. It is in this field of tension that ArtEZ provides education.
ArtEZ provides a coherent range of preparatory courses, Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes in visual art, architecture, fashion, design, music, theatre, creative writing, dance and art education for more than 3000 students in Arnhem, Enschede and Zwolle. ArtEZ is a specialised knowledge institute, where lecturers link theory with practice. ArtEZ works together with a large number of partners both nationally and abroad, such as other educational institutes, companies, governments and non-profit organisations.
Education at ArtEZ focuses on the artistic, intellectual and personal growth of students. They are trained in a professional role that closely matches their talent, personality and ambitions. This involves supervision by lecturers who have earned their spurs in professional practice. Through this individual approach, students are optimally prepared for their careers as art and culture professionals.
ArtEZ is one of the major art schools in the Netherlands and is located in Arnhem, Enschede and Zwolle. The university of applied sciences has a total of 900 employees, including around 600 lecturers. In addition to their positions at ArtEZ, lecturers often work in professional practice as well. The Executive Board and the support services are concentrated in Arnhem.
ArtEZ aims to prepare students as broadly as possible for professional practice as artists. Entrepreneurial skills are a necessary part of this. From fashion designers to musicians, from choreographers to architects, more and more artists are establishing themselves as independent entrepreneurs or opting for mixed professional practice. Employed graduates are also expected to demonstrate entrepreneurial behaviour.
ArtEZ pays attention to the economic, financial, and legal aspects of professional practice. For example, at the Academy of Music, the required course Musiconomy covers topics pertaining to taxes, forms of collaboration, and contracts. This is elaborated upon in the course Music Management and Musiconomy. In Art Economy, Art & Design students learn things such as how to set up their own business, the fiscal implications of this, and how to deal with copyright. Entrepreneurship is also addressed in various projects. For instance, students are involved in the organisation of their own music, dance, and theatre festivals. Fashion students develop their own collections, which are sold under the name Collectie Arnhem.
