In the organiser's words
Quoted from esraro.com and checked on 1 September 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.
R.A.R.O. is an international residency program that proposes an alternative model based on a wide network of studios and cultural spaces, rather than a single workspace. Through this collaborative structure, over 28 local artists’ studios, art departments from public and private universities, and other interdependent cultural projects welcome residents and support their creative processes across the program’s various formats.
Founded in Buenos Aires in 2014, R.A.R.O. has hosted more than 450 artists from all over the world. Since 2024, the program has also operated in Bogotá (Colombia), where it has received over 100 artists, curators, and researchers. Throughout its history, the program has established alliances with various institutions to promote grant programs and strengthen artistic creation, the exchange of knowledge, and co-learning through both short and long-term residencies.
The R.A.R.O. proposal invites participants to work alongside artists, curators, managers, and researchers in a dynamic of itinerancy, dialogue, and collaboration, where each space in the network functions as a node for learning and experimentation. In addition to studio work, the program includes complementary activities such as visits to museums and public and private collections, artist talks, field trips, and work critiques, broadening and deepening the experience of every residency.
We invite artists, managers, curators, and other interested parties from Colombia and all nationalities to apply for the 6th Edition R.A.R.O. Bogotá, which is open until December 11th, 2026. The R.A.R.O. Bogotá program is aimed at a wide range of profiles, including artists with or without academic training, self-taught, emerging, or professional creators of any background, and researchers working in any artistic medium.
Furthermore, the call extends to curators, cultural and social managers, human rights defenders, and anyone interested in developing projects linked to art and culture. This residency format consists of a period of six (6) weeks. Within this timeframe, four (4) weeks are dedicated to working in the selected studios. There, residents will be able to develop their processes, connect with other artists in the program, and meet the local artists working in each space.
Subsequently, the residency will conclude with a one (1) week final exhibition. During this week, and alongside a mounting team and the edition’s curator, each resident will receive the necessary support so the group can exhibit the processes they worked on during the program. Additionally, residents will have curatorial meetings, workshops, and advisory sessions from the R.A.R.O. Team, as well as tours and visits through the city’s artistic circuit and group photographic documentation.
Format: Macro-Residency Dates: From January 21st to May 3rd, 2026 Grants: One (1) full grant is available for artists of any nationality. Application Deadline: December 11th, 2026
We offer various accommodation options for our residents. From hostels and shared rooms to private apartments or private rooms in local artists’ homes. Everything depends on the resident’s budget and needs.
With 25 studios to choose from, R.A.R.O. residencies cover a wide range of techniques with all types of equipment and provide full assistance at all times.
The key element of R.A.R.O.'s Itinerant Residencies is the opportunity to create, collaborate, and explore diverse artistic spaces during the residency. The multidisciplinary nature of R.A.R.O. allows residents to work in two or more workshops within our network.
Residencies have an associated cost. The cost varies depending on the chosen workshops and the duration of the stay. We offer 1 (one) full grant for artists of any nationality, granted by R.A.R.O.
