RONDO Artist Residency

Located in Mexico City, RONDO offers two distinct residency options tailored to the diverse needs of artists. The Live-Work modality provides artists with the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the creative environment by residing on-site. Alternatively, the Only-Work option affords artists the same enriching programming while allowing them to arrange accommodation independently. RONDO is dedicated to fostering production and connecting artists with the local contemporary scene through strategic partners, including Clavo Art Fair, El Paint Lab, Plomo Gallery, and Galería Unión.
