500 Capp Street AiR in San Francisco (USA)

For the first time ever, the 2023-2024 Artist Residency at 500 Capp Street invites artists from around the world, including international, national, and local talents, thanks to the support from the Sanger Family Foundation.

Taking place over five months in San Francisco, CA, from autumn 2023 to spring 2024 (with some flexibility in the start date), the residency offers artists the chance to engage in research for three months, followed by two months dedicated to their final project. This year's focus is on fostering experimentation that pushes the boundaries of genre, medium, and material, providing artists with creative space to develop and explore new ideas.

The selected artist(s) will have the opportunity to utilise The House as their live or work studio and will also gain access to The Paule Anglim Archive Room and David Ireland Archive, containing valuable collections of Bay Area Conceptual Art from 1975-2009. Additionally, they will have the chance to consult with curator Lian Ladia on their final project.

The final project can encompass various forms, such as research, exhibition, installation, or a public intervention in the house or the surrounding neighbourhood. Alternatively, artists may choose to present their research through a talk or symposium. Throughout the residency, the artist(s) will receive support from The House staff and resources, extending the impact of the programme beyond the five-month period. A £10,000 travel stipend and honoraria for the individual or collective, along with up to a £10,000 production budget, will be provided to support the artists during their residency.
