2022 performing artist residency

The David Ireland House at 500 Capp Street is pleased to announce the continuation of our Artist Residency Program with a focus in 2022 on the performing arts.

In January 2021, the NEA reported that “although the COVID-19 has impacted the entire arts sector, nowhere has the effect been more direct, deep, and immediate than on the performing arts.” David Ireland himself collaborated with dance groups including Douglas Dunn + Dancers, and The David Ireland House archive includes costumes, props, and drawings of these collaborations. In light of the pandemic’s ongoing impact on this sector of the arts community, we extend an invitation to performance artists and collectives in the Bay Area to apply for our 2022 Artist Residency Program.

This ten-week residency begins on January 20 and end on April 1, culminating in an exhibition or public program events from April 15 to May 21, 2022.

The project can be a multimedia exhibition, a public intervention with the house and/or the surrounding neighborhood, or a presentation of their research through a talk or symposium. A public education component is also suggested to be considered as part of the residency in collaboration with our education team.
