In the organiser's words

What the official page says.

Quoted from proyectoace.org and checked on 31 August 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.

The Palimpsest Project is a mural painting residency conceived as a “work in progress”. Recovering the word palimpsest’s original meaning, the terrace in the ´ace studio becomes a living organism in which the artists paint their murals by dialoguing, intervening or overlapping with the previous ones. Palimpsest is a project in constant mutation, in which artists are encouraged to superimpose their murals or interlace them with the previous ones, achieving a new awakening of what was already on the wall.

More than an individual work, the murals express the superposition of many hands, residences and artists. These actions are considered a way to embrace and, at the same time, demystify the work of the other. This residency program is aimed at established, mid-career or emerging visual artists, with a special interest in muralism and/or urban art. Groups of up to 2 members can apply together to work collaboratively. In addition, in these residencies, there is the possibility of working collectively collaborating with other residents or local artists.

Duration

This residency program spans for 8 days to 10 days, including a public presentation of the produced work. Accommodation ´ace has two apartments — however, lodging can be arranged with us or independently, according to each resident’s needs. Buenos Aires is a city full of options ranging from inexpensive hostels to a room in a private house or high-end quality hotels. We are located in a multicultural city, one of Latin America’s cultural centers that has a wide offer of visual arts, theatre, cinema and music to experience.

The ´ace team will guide you through all sorts of cultural and artistic activities happening in this pulsating Latin American city that hosts great events, such as arteBA (contemporary art fair), FIBA (theatre festival), BAFICI (independent cinema festival), Performance Biennial (performance art), FILBA (literature festival), BAPhoto (photography fair) and many other exhibitions, conferences, festivals and more. Disciplines, work equipment and assistance ´ace provides latex paint and brushes, covering plastics to protect the floor, buckets and rolls.

Spray painting and special colours in latex painting are not provided by ´ace and, if necessary, should be acquired by the artists.

Studio

Residents doing a Palimpsest Project | Mural Painting Residency work at The Terrace: a luminous space located on the top of our 108 years-old building, accessible by a spiral staircase.

Fees & support

WE DON’T CHARGE ANY APPLICATION FEE. Residencies have a basic fee and residency candidates can select other options. Basic fee covers: studio space; access to equipment; workshop materials (depending on the needs of the project); reviews from a professional team permanently available; pre-production and production assistance; lunchs, refreshments, fruits, snacks and beverages at studio hours; accident insurance at the studio; guidance through the city and its cultural events; public transportation card; professional networking; a profile on ´ace’s website.

We also offer residents the chance to pair residents with local artists and/or curators for a collaborative project, should it be wished for or necessary. The residency fee DOES NOT include: special materials (spray paint, special latex painting colours, etc.), travel costs to and from Buenos Aires, travelers’ health insurance, costs of visas (if necessary), per diem.

Expectations

Residents at ´ace are expected to work on a specific project proposed by them — in any case, presented projects for residency periods are plausible of evolving through experiences acquired within the residency period, and residents are encouraged to embrace these experiences with an open heart and mind. Mural Painting Residency periods end with an open studio in which the residents share the results of their process with the local public.
