The Accordion Shop
Presented by 500 Capp Street
500 Capp Street is proud to participate in this year’s San Francisco Art Fair with a special presentation of The Accordion Shop.
Launched last year as the foundation’s concept store, The Accordion Shop operates as a platform for artists experimenting across materials and forms. Housed within the historic David Ireland House—once home to Paul Greub’s accordion repair shop—the store honors the site’s layered history while supporting contemporary artistic practices.
For the fair, 500 Capp Street will transport The Accordion Shop beyond its permanent home, offering a curated selection of works by Mildred Howard, Rico Duenas, Patrick Carroll, The Shimura Bros, and others. The presentation highlights the store’s commitment to material experimentation, collaboration, and accessible collecting.
Through this offsite iteration, 500 Capp Street extends its mission to foster dialogue between contemporary art, history, and community—bringing the spirit of 500 Capp Street to the fair floor.
