Micro Residencies

About the Open Call

Short but focused sessions! Within the broad spectrum of artistic residencies, this 2-weeks (10 working days) micro-Residency is a new concept of work that seeks significant results in a stimulating environment. This short space of time fosters informal knowledge and exchange, both for the resident and the host organization and, to some extent, between the resident and the local art scene. Buenos Aires is one of the busiest cities on the planet, and its artists are some of the busiest people in the world. That is why we understand that not everyone has the time to carry out a one-month residency. However, this does not change the importance of time and space for our artistic practices.The Micro-Residences are mainly aimed at completing or deepening ongoing projects / ideas / works or starting a new project. Each Micro-Residence intends to be different (as the artists are diverse) and each resident can help develop new aspects of the residence. Take advantage of your stay in Buenos Aires to get in touch with its rich artistic community, producing art in an inspiring environment. ‘Ace gives you space and professional assistance to create new works in a short, but very intense, period of time. This format is ideal for those artists who belong to academic institutions and who do not have long periods of time to complete a full residency, since this option allows them to venture into the world of residences according to more limited time possibilities. Because we firmly believe that diversity enriches us, the artists selected in our Micro Residencies are not discriminated against by race, skin color, gender, national origin, age, religion, creed, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
