The ´acePIRAR Artist-in-Residence International Program is offering four-week residencies and one-week micro-residencies that support contemporary visual art practices and trans-disciplinary projects (including performance, music and curatorial proposals) and promote exchange, debate, experimentation and collaborative work.

STUDIO / WORKSPACES:
Production Residency artists use the ´ace workshop: a large, quiet space with lots of light and equipment to facilitate a variety of traditional and new printing processes. Also, the Poliglota Room, a perfect space for performance, audiovisual installations, lectures, etc. Exploration residency artists work in The Tower: a quiet and luminous studio located on the second floor with an open view, accessible by a spiral staircase. It is ideal to research, study, write and create.

BUENOS AIRES:
Artistic residencies are a very nurturing way to grow as an artist, develop an international network and explore new disciplines and ways of thinking. Come to a multicultural city, one of Latin America's cultural centers with a wide offer of visual arts, theatre, cinema and music.
