Residency for Immersive Arts & Research | Deadline: 13.03.26 | Netherlands

9h (edited) • Open Calls

💡 Stage IX is a residency programme for artists working at the intersection of art and technology, built around immersive experiences (IX). Rather than following a linear production model, it creates space for open-ended research- thinking and making at the same time, with process prioritized over predetermined outcomes.

💡 The programme is run by a consortium of six Dutch institutions and selects a small cohort each cycle. For 2026, three spots are available: two for emerging artists (2–4 years experience) and one for established artists (5+ years), all Netherlands-based.

💡 What residents receive varies by track, but includes an artist fee (€18K–€26K), an R&D budget (€5K–€15K), workspace at Fort Penningsveer, and access to specialized facilities — spatial audio studios, XR and motion capture labs, volumetric capture systems, a fulldome venue, and more.

💡 The 8–10 month residency runs May through December 2026, with each resident embedded in a support structure of producers, dramaturgs, mentors, and peers. Residents are also expected to contribute to collective learning across three shared areas: audience engagement, production workflows, and education.
