Location
Location
The location in Breda is a former seminary on the outskirts of the city. The school's location in 's-Hertogenbosch is a stone's throw from the railway station. It is a remnant of the school that was originally called Royal Academy of Arts and Design, 's-Hertogenbosch. Up to 2017 this school was situated in the former Remington-typewriter factory on the Onderwijsboulevard. This building is a remarkable design by architect Hugh Maaskant, and especially suitable for a school that requires much natural light. The school was next moved to the EKP building, its current (2018) location. This is a building where mail and packages were handled, located along the railway track just north of the station.
Predecessors
Predecessors
The longest part of the history of St. Joost is formed by the history of its two predecessors: the Royal Academy of Arts and Design of 's-Hertogenbosch, and the Academy for Visual Arts Sint-Joost in Breda. The school in 's-Hertogenbosch was founded in 1812 as "Royal and Imperial Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture". The oldest roots of St. Joost were in a drawing school started in Breda in 1825. In 1922 an art school was founded in Breda, and later the Free Academy of Visual Art was founded by the artists Dio Rovers, Gerrit de Morée and Niel Steenbergen. These two schools became locations of the new merged school in 2004.
