The launch of the first edition of R.A.R.O. Bogotá Artistic Residency Program is announced. The itinerant and interdependent nature of the residency means that residents can work on projects that delve into one or several techniques and themes. Residents share with multiple agents of the art ecosystem in Bogotá and receive, in turn, continuous feedback in their creative process.

At the end of the experience, artists will have the opportunity to present their work in different formats, such as group exhibitions, meetings with curators, open studios or workshops, among others. For this first edition, the closing exhibition of the program will be in Espacio Gris of Espacio Odeón.

The R.A.R.O. team for this edition, is comprised of Lina Ángel (General Management), Cristina Porto (Production) and Andrés Matías Pinilla (Artistic Coordination), who have woven a wide network of artists, workshops and cultural spaces in the city of Bogotá.
