The Rietveld Pavilion is a student run project space of the Rietveld Academie and the Sandberg Instituut. The Pavilion provides a platform for students to experiment, to discuss and to learn by making use of the autonomous space. The aim of the Pavilion is to keep the space active and alive, and to bring students together to exchange ideas and to support them in collaborative projects.

For the school year 2022/2023 a pilot has been launched. Every month there will be (a) different student curator(s) who programmes the Pavilion. These students were chosen through an Open Call which was open to all students. See the schedule below.
