Since its launch in 2013, the ESPRONCEDA residencies programme has supported artists from around the world by offering time, space and resources to develop new work within a multidisciplinary and internationally connected environment.
Over the past decade, we have hosted more than 500 artists — providing production support, research opportunities, curatorial guidance, public visibility and access to a vibrant creative community in Barcelona.
Our residency programme continues to grow, welcoming creators working across contemporary art, new media, performance, technology and interdisciplinary research. Each residency culminates in a public exhibition or presentation, ensuring visibility and dialogue with both local and international audiences.
