Staff mobility
As a school, we want to focus on lifelong learning, not only of the students, but also of our teachers. After all, innovation and world knowledge are extremely important pillars that we want to introduce into educational practice on a daily basis. To do this, it is important that our teachers, but also our employees and other staff members, are aware of interesting and new global developments in arts education.

HELLO THERE, DEAR ALUMNI!
The Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts is about to blow out 360 birthday candles. You can only imagine how many students have graduated here in the past couple of years - and even centuries! – and have traded the familiar ateliers and classrooms for a career in the arts sector or cultural field.
