Gerrit Rietveld Academie

[2] During the 1960s and 1970s, the school saw an increase in the role and influence of autonomous visual art and individual expression.

These influences, combined with a practical focus and a critical mindset, are still a significant part of the academy's image.

There are courses in Architectural Design; Fine Arts; designLAB; Graphic Design; Fashion; Jewellery - Linking Bodies; TXT (Textiles); Image and Language; Photography; Glass; Ceramics; VAV - moving image.

DOGtime, the Rietveld Academy's evening school, offers a two-year foundation programme.

This is followed by a three-year degree track, with the choice of the following one of two directions: Autonomous Fine Art, or Interaction, Design, and Unstable Media (IDUM for short).

The art academy was named after Gerrit Rietveld (1888–1964)
