Headlands Center for the Arts

A cluster of artist-rehabilitated military buildings located just north of the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County, the Headlands campus has been a place to explore the creative process and generate new ideas in a range of disciplines—such as visual art, performance, music, film, and writing—for more than 40 years. Its renowned residency, fellowships, exhibitions, and public programs nurture meaningful engagement with artmaking in real time and promote greater appreciation for art’s role in society. “We’ve grown from an artist-run, grassroots organization into a fully articulated fellowship with international reach,” says Executive Director Mari Robles. “Looking ahead, we plan to double down on ongoing support for Bay Area artists and their conversations.”
