The academy has twenty workshops at its disposal. Some of these are for general use and others are specific to particular departments. The workshops enable students to experiment with different techniques and materials and provide the opportunity to learn to use professional equipment. They form the very heart of the academy.

Six Academies is the kick off for a series of annual exhibitions, hosted by the Gerrit Rietveld Academie/Amsterdam, ZHDK/Zurich, ENSAD/Paris, FH/Bielefeld, Fondazione Fotografia/Modena and RCA/London.
Since 2004, these Academies have been working together, discussing art education in the field of Photography. Annual meetings resulted in a professional exchange of professors about their variety of teaching strategies and programmes, and a prize for the best student’s work. As of 2018, the prize has been transformed into an exhibition of selected student’s works, rotating between the respective cities and institutes.
6 Academies at UNSEEN provides a live view of an interactive, visual transformation throughout the whole duration of the festival. More information on unseenamsterdam.com
