2025-2026 artist residency

500 Capp Street is pleased to announce the yearly open call for an Artist Residency. The 2025-2026 Artist Residency at 500 Capp Street will be an open call to international and U.S. based artists with generous multi-year support from the Sanger Family Foundation. International artists are extremely encouraged to apply.

This 2 month residency program at 500 Capp Street in San Francisco, CA will begin in the Spring of 2026 and end in Summer of 2026. Artists will have two months for research, which will culminate in a 2 month exhibition after the research period ends. This year’s program will highlight the conceptual, and urges artists to create work that pushes the boundaries of material and medium. We are especially interested in artists working with sculpture, and artists who support David Ireland’s artistic philosophies. The residency is intended to give creative space for developing an idea, and executing it for exhibition purposes.
