Sculpture Residencies in Buenos Aires

PAR

Buenos Aires, Argentina

PAR International Art Program is an open-call artist residency located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, welcoming artists from around the globe to engage deeply with the city’s vibrant contemporary art scene. The program is tailored for creatives working across visual arts, performance, literature, curating, and research, with a particular interest in experimental practices connected to performing arts. Residents stay in private rooms within shared housing, fostering cultural exchange with both local and international artists. The residency includes access to shared studio spaces, individual mentorship sessions, group critiques, cultural excursions, and culminates in a public open studio. Each residency spans from 4 to 12 weeks, with flexible scheduling between February and November. PAR emphasizes collaboration, immersion in Buenos Aires’ artistic ecosystem, and provides professional development through one-on-one tutoring and community engagement. While self-funded, residents can request invitation letters to support external grant applications. The program is ideal for artists seeking a research-focused and socially engaged experience in one of Latin America’s most dynamic art hubs.

We host three residency programs a year, each lasting between 4 to 8 weeks. We also receive artists all year long to work in private studios for up to 6 months. For each program, we select a group up to 10 international and local artists, curators and researchers. The group shares working spaces and participates in a number of activities as each one immerse in new or ongoing projects. During the program public presentations are organized and the residency culminates in an open studio which is an integral part of our program of exhibitions. The exhibition is open to the public for the last days of the residency, during which special visits and presentations are coordinated. Each program have a guest curator who participates in the selection of the candidates, propose a concept or activities, follows each project, participate in the work meetings and the public presentations. Residents also have the assistance of both a production coordinator and the directors of the project. The schedule of activities also includes visits to relevant art spaces in Buenos Aires and visits from other educational programs, artists, curators, and critics.
