Royal Academy of Art (KABK), The Hague educates students to become independent and self-aware artists and designers with investigative mindsets and unique visual and conceptual abilities. They are able to produce authentic and in-depth creative work that advances their chosen disciplines and contributes to the wellbeing of society as a whole.
Our graduates have the capacity to become leaders in their fields, produce outstanding creative work, and dare to disturb. They are able to innovate, collaborate, and generate new knowledge. We inspire our students to question how art and design shape contemporary societies and contribute to cultural, economic, and social well-being in a global context.
We look outwards from the academy, interacting with the communities of The Hague, the Netherlands, and beyond, and aim to contribute to an inclusive debate on issues relevant to art, culture, and society.
