Itinera Arte is an independent contemporary art platform based in downtown Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Its activities include artistic education, exhibitions, public programs, international exchanges, cultural trips, and artist residency programs. Itinera Arte works as a space for artistic research, critical reflection, and exchange between artists, curators, researchers, students, and cultural professionals.

Itinera Arte International Artist Residency Program is a contemporary art residency based in Rio de Janeiro, open to Brazilian and international artists. The program supports the development of artistic research through studio practice, weekly curatorial guidance, portfolio reviews, critical follow-up, conversations with invited artists and curators, visits to studios, galleries, exhibitions and cultural institutions, and a final collective exhibition/open studio.

The residency is conceived as a space of exchange between artists, curators, and the local art scene, encouraging experimentation, dialogue, and the development of new artistic processes in relation to the cultural, historical, and urban context of Rio de Janeiro.
