Mission statement
The HISK (Higher Institute of Fine Arts) organizes the postgraduate education in Flanders in the field of the visual arts. It provides some thirty young artists from Belgium and abroad (see a list of former laureates on http://www.hisk.edu ) with a studio of their own, for a duration of two years.

At the HISK the emphasis lies mainly on individual practice, with an international focus. The visiting lecturers are crucial (see a list of former lecturers on http://www.hisk.edu ). Artists, curators, critics and theoreticians pay individual studio visits at regular intervals. There are also frequent visits to significant art events, and readings and workshops are organized.
