Espronceda Institute of Art & Culture was founded in 2013 with the aim of creating an innovative platform for artistic and cultural research that could generate social impact and contribute to societal change. The institute operates as a research and creation platform for contemporary and new media arts, science, education, and cultural dissemination. Its mission is to foster innovative and creative thinking through artistic research and innovation, shaping our understanding of the world and enhancing the quality of life with new perspectives toward a more sustainable and responsible transformation. The organization supports residency and artistic research programs in the fields of new media art, science, and visual art. It provides a multidisciplinary environment that encourages dialogue between the art world, public institutions, and businesses. Espronceda extends its outreach to the local and international community by organizing various events and initiatives, including art exhibitions, workshops, conferences, and open calls that address significant issues in contemporary society. The artist in residence program (AIR) was launched in 2013. Within the framework of the program, Espronceda invites internationally recognized, but also artists with high potential. We offer a creative and cultural experience for stays between 2 and 12 weeks.
