As a multi-disciplinary Post-Academy, the Jan van Eyck offers 11-month residencies to artists, designers—ranging from graphic, fashion, to food and social design—, writers, curators and architects coming from all over the globe. Every participant is provided with the time, space and expertise needed to develop their artistic practice in depth. Its labs support the participants in the conceptualisation and realisation of their projects. Its Nature Research and Education & Development departments further artistic and academic research. The Jan van Eyck Academie is a place for research and experimentation, as well as a place for (public) debate and cross fertilization. Self-development is tied in with collaboration and exchange.

Z33 creates projects, exhibitions, productions and publications by and with artists. Contemporary art, architecture, design and film are used to bring to the fore and critically examine a variety of social themes. The projects are always the result of a long-term and deepening research and lead to an extensive program of artistic activities. Z33 aims to question the norm, encourage curiosity, and provide a new frame of reference, but also seeks to provide knowledge, skills and tools to its public so as to set things in motion. Z33 has a particular focus on talent development as well as on projects that stimulate new connections between artists, designers, researchers, scientists and (urban) residents. Z33 regularly acts as curator and partner for organisations and research and educational institutions within and outside the arts field.

Design Museum Den Bosch highlights the cultural meaning of design in the past, the present and the future with thought-provoking exhibitions and programming.
