# Spring 2026 R.A.R.O. Barcelona Multi-Residency Program

**Hosted by:** R.A.R.O. Barcelona

**Type:** Residency | **Location:** Casa R.A.R.O., Barcelona, Spain | **Deadline:** September 11, 2026

## About This Program

> "Working across multiple artistic production spaces in Barcelona, from traditional techniques to new media"

The key element in the Multi-Residency program is the opportunity to create, collaborate and explore different artist spaces in the city during the residency period.

During the Multi-Residency the artists will spend the first two weeks of residency in the Casa R.A.R.O. studios where they will lay out the bases of their project and will have the curatorial guidance of the entire team for the optimal development of their residency. Afterwards, artists will be able to choose between one or two studios from the R.A.R.O. network specialized in different artistic techniques to delve into the technical aspects of the project. This will also allow them to get to know different artistic production spaces in Barcelona, while sharing their projects and generating connections with different artists, curators and other people involved in the artistic and cultural sphere of the city.

Within the studios of the R.A.R.O. network artists will be able to find a wide variety of artistic techniques that vary from the most traditional ones such as painting, sculpture and printmaking, to new media, video art, installation and performance.

The Multi-Residency works as a platform to connect residents with local and international artists, while they work and deepen their work and the professionalization of their artistic career.
