Residencia Corazón Argentina
Residencia Corazón Argentina
Residencia Corazón is an artist residency located in La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Since 2006, they have hosted emerging and established visual artists, photographers, and interdisciplinary practitioners from around the world.
Their program is built around a close, personalized relationship with each resident. They believe the stay should transcend the artistic purpose — a learning adventure that artists carry with them long after they leave.
La Plata is a vibrant university city one hour from Buenos Aires, with its own active arts scene, unique urban design, and natural surroundings: parks, forests, the La Plata River with its beaches and riverside jungles, canals, and more.
