Community Arts Program

San Francisco is a city rich in culture, art and creativity. While our other programs address immediate needs and long-term stabilization, we also believe access to the community’s unique cultural and artist landscape creates whole people and healthy communities. Creative self-expression and a vibrant community culture should not be exclusive to areas of means.

Since 1969, Hospitality House’s Community Arts Program (CAP) is the only free-of-charge fine arts studio and gallery space for artists and neighborhood residents whose socioeconomic struggles would otherwise prevent them from accessing the powerful artistic and cultural landscape of this community. Each year, more than 3,500 artists benefit from the free materials and space to create, house, exhibit and sell their artwork.

The CAP hosts regular exhibitions at its on-site gallery, located at 1009 Market Street at 6th Street, as well as at other locations around San Francisco.  Participating artists keep 100% of the proceeds from any work purchased at one of our exhibitions.

The Community Arts Program is located at 1009 Market Street @ Sixth Street
