Unique among programs for artists internationally, Headlands fosters a dynamic environment that includes current Artists in Residence, Graduate Fellows and Affiliate Artists, visiting Alumni, and guest artists and curators. All programs emphasize a balance between individual practice, the possibilities for exchange with other artists and visitors and a meaningful engagement with place.
All told, more than 75 artists participate in our programs each year. By bringing together local, national, and international artists from a wide range of disciplines — including visual and interdisciplinary artists, architects, dancers, choreographers, musicians, composers, writers, and curators — our programs enable the exchange of ideas and approaches that help catalyze new cultural and social perspectives.
