Open Day Programme
Welcome to
the KABK
You are at the right place if you are dreaming of studying art or design. Take the time to experience our art academy and to imagine if you see yourself studying here. Visit the ceramics, wood and photography workshop or one of the other seventeen workshops in total. Check out what the possibilities are and imagine yourself working with your hands. Talk to students, teachers and alums, view the work of current students to get an idea of what you are going to make. Chat with students about their work. Drink a cup of coffee and eat a brownie in the canteen. Or just walk around and think about how you can shape your future at our art academy.
