About Inversie
Inversie guides talented young visual artists who graduated two to five years ago - and are connected to Brabant - in the transition from the academy to a versatile professional practice. For a year, artists who place their field of work outside the regular frameworks of the art world, are guided in their artistic development and appropriate entrepreneurship. Inversie stands for reversing the ordinary order and also dares to go off the beaten track in search of innovative methods that suit the art and the artist. The strength of Inversie lies in the personal guidance, group bonding and substantive deepening, with which a foundation for self-confidence is laid in combination with workshops and expert meetings. Inversion works in the program with various partners in the arts in Brabant such as Kunstpodium T, Witte Rook,, TAC, Willem Twee Kunstruimte, Stedelijk Museum Breda, Graphic Atelier Den Bosch, Het NoordBrabants Museum, Galerie Ruby Soho and Emoves.

Inversie has a trajectory that starts in September 2025: Inversie #5, in 2026: Inversie #6 en in 2027 Inversie #7 will start. Each edition has room for eight talents; an Open Call is issued for each edition. 

One open call, two development projects
From January 6 till February 10 2025 jump! and Inversie scout together talented artists who live, work or have a proven connection with Brabant. Both jump! as Inversie offer a trajectory for visual artists, with the difference that Inversie is a short-term program that focuses on young or starting talents up to five years after graduation and jump! is aimed at artists who have been active for four years or more. You can sign up with Inversie or jump! by sending an e-mail to the hub you want to apply for with your CV, your portfolio and a motivation. For more information about jump! click here.
