Master Performing Public Space

International one-year master's program inviting artists to apply.

This Master's program is designed for international creatives from a variety of art disciplines who currently focus on public space as their artistic environment.

This blended-learning program (online/on-campus) investigates public space as a backdrop for artistic expression and intervention. Creatives with a background in theatre, dance, circus, music, fine arts, architecture, digital arts, or performance are welcome to join this program.

Master Performing Public Space (Fontys Academy of the Arts) aims at questioning, re-imagining and re-defining public space, in order to create alternative grounds for the benefit of art and society. We bring together a diverse group of artists from across the globe, all eager to explore the role of art in society and to engage with contemporary issues.
