Our Residency
At RONDO, we offer two distinct residency options tailored to the diverse needs of artists.
Our Live-Work modality provides artists with the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in our creative environment by residing on-site while actively engaging in their projects.
Alternatively, our Only-Work option affords artists the same enriching programming while allowing them to arrange accommodation independently.
