Seasonal one-week residencies: shaping Horst together
Born from a volunteer spirit Horst’s seasonal residencies highlight the crafts at the organisation’s core: music, art, architecture, urban development and our park. A range of disciplines introducing young minds to the hands-on application of experimental design and co-creation. Through experiences, workshops, talks, and projects, developed together with artists and makers, the Horst Atelier becomes a playground for budding talent.
The Ateliers connect young creatives to genre-defying architects, musicians and artists who have shaped the Horst DNA from the inside out. Over the course of one week, you are introduced to those who push the boundaries of their craft and can connect with likeminded young professionals, joining a network of peers, mentors, and long-term collaborators that extends far beyond the festival itself.
How to apply?
The next Atelier cycle takes place from April 19th to May 14th in Asiat Park, Vilvoorde. Applications open February 19th. Keep an eye out.
Applying for the Horst Ateliers during the off-season will result in consideration for the next Atelier cycle.
