Artistic Residency Program in Buenos Aires
At R.A.R.O. Buenos Aires we offer three residency formats according to the interests of the artists. We currently have three open calls:
-
3rd Session R.A.R.O. Buenos Aires from October 20 to December 26, 2025
Includes work in the ateliers of the R.A.R.O. Buenos Aires Network, final exhibition week, curatorial support, mentoring by the R.A.R.O. Team, workshops, tours, and visits throughout the city’s art circuit.
We will soon announce the available scholarship opportunities, new ateliers, and the exhibition space.
-
Micro-Residencies (open year-round)
A shorter program with the same intensity and guidance, allowing R.A.R.O. residents to work across different disciplines with the support of our network of local ateliers.
Includes: weeks of work in R.A.R.O. Network studios, guidance from the R.A.R.O. Team, and guided visits to the city’s art circuit.
-
A Isla Residency
A ISLA is a short five-day experience in which we travel a few kilometers to El Pantano, a space located on an island in the Delta River — and, as always, through a shared experience, we dive a bit deeper into each artist’s process.

Itinerant Dynamics
The core of the R.A.R.O. residencies is the opportunity to create, collaborate, and share with various artists in their studios during the residency period.
The decentralized and itinerant nature of the program allows residents to work in two or more local artist studios in Buenos Aires over a short period, delving into one or several disciplines. Thanks to the network of local artist spaces that make up the project, each resident can choose where to carry out part of their production and develop collaborative work.
The selection of studios depends on the techniques each artist wishes to explore and on each studio’s availability.
During their stay, residents will be able to share their work and connect with local artists, curators, collectors, and researchers.
In the case of the full residency, the work produced will be presented in a final exhibition, and residents will be supported by invited curators throughout the process.
R.A.R.O. Dates
The open call for the 3rd Session of the year in Buenos Aires is currently open and will remain so until September 19. The residency will take place from October 20 to November 26, 2025.
For Micro-Residencies, the call is open year-round, and dates can be arranged according to the availability of the studios.
The open call for Residencia A Isla is open for the session scheduled from December 1 to 5, 2025.
Participants
R.A.R.O. residencies are open to artists, researchers, cultural managers, curators, and other professionals — both from the arts and from other disciplines — who are interested in creating spaces for reflection, production, and exchange.
Fees, Grants and Opportunities
The cost of each residency varies based on its duration and the studios chosen. To determine the final cost of the program, you must apply.
Interested artists may apply for scholarships periodically offered by R.A.R.O. or apply for external funding. In that case, the R.A.R.O. team can provide invitation letters and any documentation necessary to support the application.
