The Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts was established in 1998 in San Francisco at California College of the Arts. It serves as a forum for the presentation and discussion of international contemporary art and curatorial practice.

Through groundbreaking exhibitions, the Capp Street Project residency program, lectures, symposia, and publications, the Wattis Institute has become one of the leading art institutions in the United States and provides an active site for contemporary culture in the Bay Area.

Location

The Wattis Institute's programming takes place primarily on CCA's San Francisco campus in the Kent and Vicki Logan Galleries, two floors of exhibition space totaling 5,000 square feet, and in Timken Lecture Hall. The galleries and lecture hall are fully accessible to the disabled.
