About This Residency

For over 20 years, Proyecto´ace International Artist Residency Program (´acePIRAR) has welcomed artists, curators, researchers, and cultural practitioners from around the world to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Since 2005, we have hosted more than 900 residents from over 45 countries, building an international community grounded in artistic research, experimentation, collaboration, and cultural exchange. We offer personalized residencies tailored to each participant's goals, combining independent studio practice with curatorial mentorship, technical support, and meaningful engagement with the local contemporary art scene. Every resident works closely with our director, artist and curator Alicia Candiani, receiving individualized guidance throughout the residency.

Experience & Atmosphere

Life at Proyecto´ace balances focused studio time with conversations, mentoring sessions, technical assistance, studio visits, and encounters with artists, curators, academics, and cultural organizations. The atmosphere is warm, collaborative, and intellectually stimulating, encouraging both independent work and spontaneous exchange among residents. Located in a residential neighborhood of Buenos Aires, our studios offer easy access to museums, galleries, artist-run initiatives, universities, and the city's dynamic cultural life. We believe that the city itself becomes an active collaborator in each resident's creative process.

Mission & Goals

Proyecto´ace supports artistic inquiry, experimentation, and international dialogue. We welcome artists working across all contemporary visual arts disciplines, particularly those interested in interdisciplinary, research-based, and process-oriented practices. Although internationally recognized for our expertise in expanded printmaking and hybrid graphic practices, we actively support projects involving installation, photography, video, sound, digital media, social practice, and other cross-disciplinary approaches. Our goal is not simply to facilitate production, but to create the conditions for critical reflection, creative risk-taking, professional growth, and long-lasting international connections.
