1646 is an art space in The Hague with an experimental, international and free public program. 1646 wants to contribute to an increasingly complex society by challenging existing systems and traditional views, to reflect on the questions that live among us all. 1646 offers fully-funded residencies for (inter)national artists and curators to stay and work/research at our location in The Hague. These residencies support innovative practices, develop global networks, and engage the local art community. Residents are invited to stay at 1646’s guest apartment and work in the residency studio. The residency is not focused on an end result, but provides a space for research, work and reflection, while getting familiar with The Hague and The Netherlands. A public event concludes the residency period. [Photo: Maarten Nauw]

The results of this are then presented in the Van Gogh Gallery. A second guest studio opened in 2021. This is located in a monumental Flemish barn on Landgoed De Moeren in the future Van Gogh National Park.
