R.A.R.O. is an international residency program that proposes an alternative model based on a wide network of local studios and cultural venues, rather than a single workspace. Through this collaborative structure, more than 21 local artist studios and other interdependent cultural projects welcome residents and mentor their creative processes within the program's various formats.

​

Founded in Buenos Aires in 2014, R.A.R.O. has hosted more than 450 artists from different parts of the world. Since 2024, the program also operates in Bogotá (Colombia), where it has received more than 100 artists, curators, and researchers. Throughout its history, the program has consolidated alliances with various institutions to promote scholarship programs and strengthen artistic creation, the exchange of knowledge, and co-learning through short and long-term residencies.

​

The R.A.R.O. proposal invites participants to work alongside artists, curators, managers, and researchers in a dynamic of itinerancy, dialogue, and collaboration, where each space in the network functions as a node for learning and experimentation. In addition to studio work, the program includes complementary activities such as visits to museums and both public and private collections, artist talks, field trips, and artwork clinics, broadening and deepening the experience of each residency.
