Support Headlands
Headlands Center for the Arts is a 501(c)3 public benefit arts organization supported through a combination of individual contributions, foundation, corporate, and government contributions, earned income, special event income, and in-kind contributions, as well as the donation of time and experience generously offered by our community of volunteers and interns.
There are many ways in which you can help make Headlands' programs for artists and the public possible!
* Become a Headlands Member.
* Make an in-kind donation of new or gently used equipment to help keep our programs running smoothly.
* Join us at an upcoming special event.
* Volunteer your time, energy, and expertise at a public program or special event, or explore current internship opportunities.
The Impact of Your Support

.... .. .. ."In a cultural and economic climate that is adverse to living as an artist, the physical, financial and moral support provided by the outstanding staff of the Headlands not only gave me the time and space to develop a new and ambitious work, but also infused me with a deeper sense of purpose and belonging as an artist in society." Theresa Wong, musician / composer (AIR '09, CA)
"After more than six years of writing from war zones, I was able to take some time and focus on purely creative writing. For a working journalist, this was a godsend." Phillip Robertson, writer (AIR '08, NY)
