Capp Street Project, Artist residency in San Francisco, United States
The Capp Street Project is an artist residency program in San Francisco with exhibition spaces, studios, and work areas spread across multiple locations. The facilities focus on giving artists space to create and present large-scale and experimental installation works.
The program was founded in 1983 and was the first artist residency in the United States dedicated specifically to installation art creation. This pioneering role established a new model for supporting experimental art development across the country.
The space has become a meeting point for artists from around the world who share experimental approaches to their work and exchange ideas during their stay. You can sense this international presence in the installations and through how the studios operate as open creative spaces.
Visitors can explore the exhibition spaces and studios to watch artists work on their installation projects as they develop. It helps to check ahead about opening times and current programs, since what is on view changes regularly throughout the year.
A notable feature is the extensive documentation of every exhibition and project created through the program, archived in a collection at a local art college. This allows anyone interested to trace how installation art has evolved and developed over the decades.
