History

In 1983, Capp Street Project was created by Ann Hatch[5] who acquired a David Ireland designed house at 65 Capp Street in San Francisco.[6] Although Hatch's original intention was to preserve the house as a work of art, the project ultimately took another direction.Шаблон:Cn The artist-in-residency program was created and became central to Capp Street Project.

Locations

65 Capp Street

The Capp Street Project programming was initially located at 65 Capp Street in San Francisco. The house at 65 Capp Street had previously belonged to David Ireland who had purchased it in 1979 and then transformed it into an acclaimed work of minimalist architecture. In 1981 Ann Hatch acquired the house which would serve as the first home base for the non-profit artist residency which she founded in 1983.[7]

The 500 Capp Street house was purchased in 2008 by Carlie Wilmans, in order to preserve both the house and Ireland's work.[8] Wilmans is on the board of the Capp Street Foundation.[8]

Capp Street Project/AVT

In 1989 the Capp Street Project program, still under Ann Hatch, moved to a new location that was formerly a body-shop, the AVT auto garage at 270 14th Street, San Francisco.[9] From 1989 to 1993 the program used the combined name Capp Street Project/AVT.[10][11]

In 1998, Capp Street Project became part of the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, which is in turn part of the California College of the Arts and the house at 65 Capp Street returned to the public sector.[6][12] The house at 500 Capp opened to the public in 2016.[13] Since its inception, Capp Street Project has given more than 100 local, national, and international artists the opportunity to create new work through its residency and public exhibition programs.

In 2016, the duplex next door to 65 Capp Street was purchased by Carlie Wilmans and she had made plans to also donate it to the Capp Street Project in order to create artist housing.[13][14] In 2019, Wilmans attempted to evict six families, but due to public backlash the plans were stopped.[13][14] As a result, the Capp Street Project foundation started to distanced itself from the founder that same year.[15]

In 2019, the head curator of 500 Capp Street, Bob Linder was laid off in an effort to restructure the programming and lessen exhibitions by visiting artists.[16]
