RESIDENCES
Keramis is a museum and space of contemporary creation in one. Ceramics is a highly relevant art form today. By continually bringing heritage conservation and contemporary artistic expression into dialogue with one another, Keramis is a living institution, but above all one genuinely rooted in its own era and that of its visitors.
Three competitions are rewarded with a residency in our workshop:
-
PRIX RÉSIDENCE JEUNE CRÉATION CÉRAMIQUE EN FÉDÉRATION WALLONIE-BRUXELLES
In 2025, the former "Prix Résidence Jeune Céramique," organized by the Friends of Keramis, is being revamped and will now become an annual award: the "Prix Résidence Jeune Création Céramique en Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles."
This prize aims to spotlight an artist connected to the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and support them by offering a residency at Keramis. During the residency, the artist will have the opportunity to create an original work, primarily in ceramics.
Elisabeth Lincot (winner of the Prix Résidence Jeune Céramique 2023), Gaëlle Caplet (ceramic technician), and Nadège Debugne (volunteer) in the Keramis workshop.
The residency lasts for 50 days, which can be taken consecutively or intermittently, between the months of September and March. The artist is provided accommodation at the museum, a financial support package, and access to the workshop's infrastructure. Additionally, the artist benefits from guidance provided by the museum's ceramic technician and the director-curator.
An exhibition of the pre-selected candidates will be held from April to August.
Application deadline: January 31, 2025, at midnight.
Next call: October 2025
