Headlands Center for the Arts

Housed in artist-rehabilitated military buildings within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area just north of San Francisco, Headlands Center for the Arts supports approximately 50 local, national, and international artists annually. Four- to ten-week fully sponsored residencies include private studios of 100–2,000 sq ft, chef-prepared meals, housing in historic officer's quarters, and monthly stipends of up to $1,000 plus roundtrip airfare. Special awards include the Chamberlain ($10,000 for social practice), Chiaro ($15,000 for painters), and McLaughlin Foundation Award ($10,000 for established visual artists).
