Master Performing Public Space (hybrid, one-year international master)
Call for artists
Master Performing Public Space 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.

The one-year Master 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 and graphic design are welcome to join this program.

Master Architecture & Urbanism (four-year professional programmes)
Shape the Future of Living Environments
The Master Architecture and the Master Urbanism (MAU) are four-year part-time master programs at Fontys Academy of the Arts in Tilburg (Academie van Bouwkunst). Our students combine their professional practice with academic exploration and reflection, developing into designers who approach complex spatial challenges with a critical and socially engaged perspective. At the heart of the MAU lies the concept of “learning in practice,” where students link real-world challenges from their work context to academic research and design experimentation. In a setting that emphasizes dialogue, social engagement, and spatial imagination, students develop their own position as designers and actively reflect on the role of architecture and urbanism in a complex world.
Where: Tilburg, The Netherlands / When: September 2026 – August 2030 / Website: Master Architecture/Master Urbanism.
Join our webinar on Wednesday November 19, 7–8pm CET to discover how both programs prepare you for an international career in spatial design. Sign up via Master Architecture/Master Urbanism.
