Kick Off Programmes

For this fall’s Kick-Off programmes the Vrije Academie has invited a number of artists to give special, experimental workshops. Guest artists will explain and discuss their own artistic practice with the Kick-Off participants. Each guest artist is given free reign to devise their own two-day programme. Kick-Offs are meant to be a strong impulse for Vrije Academie participants to start experimenting and hopefully stumble upon some unexpected perspective concerning their own artistic work. Kick-Off programmes also offer an excellent opportunity for exchange with and/or introduction to the Vrije Academie to artists and students who are not (yet) Vrije Academie participants.

Price: € 60.00 per Kick-Off / Vrije Academie participants can attend 2 Kick-Offs, of choice, free of charge. Every next Kick-Off programme will be € 30.00.
