Just three times per year Headlands Center for the Arts invites you behind the studio doors of its world renowned Artist in Residence program to witness the creative process of writers, musicians, dancers, choreographers and visual artists of all kinds. This spring welcomes a diverse group of individuals from the Eastern, Southern, Western and Midwestern United States, as well as guests from Sweden, Korea, Japan, Finland and Germany, all of whom meditate on, and create work about, environmental, national, physical, cultural, communal and aesthetic issues.

So, come visit our historic 1907-era buildings, listen to fiction/non-fiction readings, discuss works-in-progress with artists, see musical/dance performances and enjoy a delicious locally grown lunch prepared by Chef Juliette Delventhal in the Mess Hall.

Some of the Bay Area’s best artists and performers have honed their chops at the Headlands Center for the Arts and its open house events are a great opportunity to see what’s new in the arts and who’s going to be the next big thing.
