Organization

[´ace](/directory/organizations/ace)

[**´ace**](https://www.proyectoace.org/en/home-2/) is an acronym that stands for "arte contemporáneo en expansión", which is Spanish for "expanding contemporary art". Our main mission is to promote contemporary artistic practices and the exploration of their multiple interfaces through residency programs, which are aimed at artists, curators and researchers, and promote collaborative work, exchange, debate and experimentation.

[micro-Residencies](https://www.proyectoace.org/en/residencies/micro-residencies/) are mainly aimed at starting a new project, delving into an ongoing project or finishing ideas/works. Each micro-Residency intends to be different, so that each resident develops their process according to their needs. **´ace** provides space and professional assistance to create new works in a short but intense period of time, an ideal format for residents who belong to academic institutions or for those who do not have availability for long periods of time, since it allows them to venture into the world of residencies in a short and intensive period.

Future residents can apply for micro-Residencies at any time of the year. For Production and Exploration residencies, we hold 4 open calls every year, the deadline to which are: **January 31st**, **April 30th**, **July 31st** and **October 31st**.

micro-Residency applicants can submit their applications at any moment of the year. The program focuses on expanded art practices (both physical and digital), including visual arts, performance art, sound art, and curatorial projects, with a special interest in proposals that make use of various medium or dissolve the borders between them. Our printmaking workshop fosters the idea of the multiple in a work of art, involving –but not circumscribed only to– traditional and innovative printmaking, installation, photography, artist book, painting illustration, video, stop motion, sound art and new media. Since 2005, **´ace** has been working as a driving force that links not only different artistic practices within the cultures that produce them, but also between the residents and the rich cultural, urban and social community of the City of Buenos Aires.
