Open call: 500 Capp Street artist residency in San Francisco

The focus of this year’s programme is to create work highlighting experimentation that expands the boundaries of genre, medium and material.

With support from the Sanger Family Foundation, the five-month residence programme will begin in the fall of 2023 and end in the spring of 2024 with some flexibility. 

Suggested start dates of the residency are November or January. Artists will have three months for research and an additional two months for the final project. The residency is intended to give creative space for developing and building ideas. The next resident(s) (solo, collaborative or collective) will be announced in the last week of September 2023.

The selected artist(s) will use The House as their live or work studio, have access to The Paule Anglim Archive Room and David Ireland Archive (time capsules of Bay Area Conceptual Art from 1975-2009), and consult with curator Lian Ladia on their final project.

The project can include research, exhibition, installation, or a public intervention in the house and/or the surrounding neighbourhood, or a presentation of their research through a talk or symposium.

The artist(s) will be supported throughout the residency and afterward by the staff and resources of The House, extending the impact of the programme far beyond the five-month period. There will be a $10 000 travel stipend and honoraria for the individual or collective, and up to a $10 000 production budget. 

Interested artists should apply here before 30 August.
