EARs 2026 | Expositions of Artistic Research

Join us for the second-years EARs:

Date: 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 April 2026

Time: 15:00-19:00 Daily

Location: ArtEZ University of Arts, Arnhem

We are thrilled to invite you to the Expositions of Artistic Research (EARs), featuring the final presentations of our graduating second-year students at the HOME OF PERFORMANCE PRACTICES.

Over the past two years, these artists have engaged in an intensive journey—expanding, deepening, and challenging their artistic research questions. The resulting works are a testament to their idiosyncratic approaches and a fearless commitment to adding timely, critical dimensions to the field of performance.

The EARs showcase the diverse researches our students have engaged in, through their practices of performance. Drawing from dance, theatre, fine arts, music, and choreography, these presentations reflect a multitude of urgent topics and media.

“The EARs are a culmination of two years of rigorous inquiry, where research transforms into public encounter.”

Please mark your calendars for this four-day celebration of research, experimentation, and performance.

A detailed program with specific performance times and locations within ArtEZ will be announced shortly.

We look forward to seeing you here.
