About Inversie
Inversie supports talented young visual artists who graduated two to five years ago and have a connection to Brabant, during the transition from art academy to a diverse professional practice. Over the course of one year, artists who position their work outside the conventional frameworks of the art world are supported in their artistic development and in developing a suitable entrepreneurial approach. Inversie stands for reversing the usual order and dares to look beyond established paths in search of innovative methods that suit both the art and the artist. The strength of Inversie lies in its personalised guidance, group cohesion and in-depth content, laying a foundation of self-confidence through workshops, work periods, presentations and expert meetings. Within the programme, Inversie collaborates with a wide range of partners from the Brabant arts field, including Graphic Atelier Den Bosch, Kunstpodium T, Witte Rook,, TAC, Willem Twee Kunstruimte, Stedelijk Museum Breda, Het NoordBrabants Museum, Galerie Ruby Soho, Emoves and Van Abbemuseum.

About the programme
Inversie is characterised by an intensive 12-month programme consisting of various modules, workshops, studio visits, mentoring, work periods and presentations. Active participation in the group process, collaboration and group cohesion is considered essential. Artists who are involved in projects that require long-term stays abroad, or who already have commitments requiring substantial time investment, are advised to apply at a later moment. You can read more about the programme here Inversie #6 starts in September 2026 and has space for nine participants. Inversie #7 will start in September 2027 and will have eight places available. The Open Call for this edition will be launched at the end of 2026.
