DIVA welcomes creators who want to push the boundaries in goldsmithing, jewellery design or related disciplines. While on a residency, artists are given the space to experiment, create and enter into dialogue with the collections, the museum and the public.
A residency at DIVA is a unique opportunity for creators to develop and reflect on their work. You will get to know the rich and diverse collection and delve into the museum’s specialist library.
As a participant in the annual Artists in Residence (AiR) programme, you can count on time for research and space for experimentation. Interaction with experts is a valuable part of the residency. You can engage with the public during a DIVA talk and conclude with a presentation at the museum.

Spotlight on talent! Meet the 2026 residents.
Since 2021, DIVA has invited creators, artists and designers every year to create new work in the context of an artist-in-residence programme. For 2026, the museum is offering three residents the opportunity to work for three months in a well-equipped studio, use the museum collection, and take part in an exhibition.
