For the first time, the 2023-2024 Artist Residency at 500 Capp Street will be an open call to international, national and local artists with generous multi-year support from the Sanger Family Foundation.
This five-month residency programme at 500 Capp Street in San Francisco, CA will begin in autumn 2023 and end in spring 2024, with some flexibility. Suggested start date of the residency is November or January. Artists will have three months for research and an additional two months for a final project. The focus of this year’s programme is to create work highlighting experimentation that expands the boundaries of genre, medium and material. The residency is intended to give creative space for developing and building ideas.
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.
