R.A.R.O. (Rarely Organized Artistic Residencies) is an international residency program for artists, born out of the need to foster connections and exchange.

​

Our residencies are designed to encourage both artistic production and reflection through multidisciplinary synergies and collaborations. We are a decentralized, self-managed program operating through a support network of 24 local artists’ studios that open their spaces to host others. Our structure is primarily itinerant and focused on building meaningful relationships.

​

Since 2014, we have been operating in Buenos Aires, where we’ve hosted over 150 residents and created multiple scholarship programs for both Argentine and international artists. We've established partnerships with various institutions, contributing to the strengthening of artistic production and cross-disciplinary exchange. In 2024, we launched our residency program in Bogotá.

​

The key element of our residencies is the opportunity to work with different artists, curators, cultural managers, and researchers in an itinerant format over a defined period of time. This approach is essential for fostering dialogue and collaboration between participants and hosts. In parallel with the studio work, we also offer a schedule of complementary activities—such as studio visits, artist talks, and critique sessions—which enrich the experience of each resident and allow them to engage with a variety of spaces and professionals according to the nature of their projects.
