Agenda
Community of Practice: Entrepreneurship in Higher Arts Education
12.30 - 18.00
How can we prepare arts students for a professional practice in which working across sectors is becoming increasingly important? On Thursday 26 November 2026, the national Community of Practice for Entrepreneurship in Higher Arts Education (KUO CoP) will come together for its second edition, hosted by ArtEZ in Arnhem.
The first national KUO CoP gathering took place at the end of 2024. This year, we are continuing the conversation. The second edition is organised by the Amsterdam University of the Arts (AHK), the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, the Sandberg Instituut and ArtEZ University of the Arts.
This year’s theme is ‘Collaborating Across Domains’. Inspired by the recommendations in the ACT! report, we will explore how working with other sectors can help prepare students for their future professional practice – one in which entrepreneurship, collaboration and societal impact are playing an increasingly important role.
The afternoon will offer plenty of opportunities to exchange experiences and ideas, share examples from practice and connect with colleagues from across higher arts education.
Programme and registration
We are currently putting together the programme, which will be announced soon. We do recommend registering as soon as possible, as there is room for a maximum of 70 participants, including participants from other arts education institutions. You can register here.
Colleagues from other higher arts education institutions are very welcome to join us.
Contribute to the programme
There is still limited space for additional contributions to the programme. Do you have an inspiring case, practical example or workshop that connects to the theme Collaborating Across Domains? Send your idea to ondernemen@artez.nl with the subject line Contributing to KUO.
