The Fall Invitational
September 6 & 7, 2025
Location: 500 Capp Street, San Francisco, CA
500 Capp Street, Et al., and Slash are excited to announce our first joint fundraising event, The Fall Invitational. Join us as we come together in collaboration to celebrate the Bay Area arts community and raise funds to sustain our future programming.
Central to the event is an exhibition and art sale within David Ireland’s former home and studio at 500 Capp, featuring over 70 artists across career stages, many of whom are rooted in the Bay Area. The presentation of works at 500 Capp Street is organized by the curatorial collective MUZ.
Accompanying the art sale will be three events, featuring a range of experiences including a raffle, performances by Gao Ling and Maria Silk, and short artist talks:
