annual report 2015 - Headlands Center for the Arts
ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Looking back on the first year of our ambitious, five-year Business Plan, 2015 was full of strategic investments—in the people, the partnerships, the programs, and the historic campus that make Headlands Center for the Arts an inspiring place for creative exploration and meaningful engagement. Everything we do here is driven by the belief that artists and their ideas are essential to a vibrant cultural landscape and, as you’ll see in the pages to follow, 2015 was no exception. To name but a few specifics: • We expanded the breadth of opportunities for artists and audiences to connect with one another, presenting 42 public programs and welcoming nearly 13,000 visitors in 2015— more than ever before. • We hosted a number of public programs, including an interactive dinner orchestrated by pioneering social practice artist Rirkrit Tiravanija (AIR ‘15); a conversation with author Mary Gaitskill (AIR ‘15) and cultural critic Greil Marcus; and an evening of outdoor performance with Mica Sigourney (AIR ‘15) and fellow drag artists. These are just a few of the artist-driven events showcasing the depth of talent across Headlands Artists Programs. • For the makers among us, our new Fieldwork Sessions offered intimate, hands-on workshops exploring myriad creative practices, from the alchemy of natural dyes, scents, and tinctures inspired by the native flora of the Marin Headlands, to a range of storytelling techniques involving basket weaving, drawing, sound, and even fortune telling. sharon maidenberg Executive Director • And finally, we provided a record 92 artists with the time, space, and professional and financial support to recharge, reflect, and achieve creative breakthroughs. As described by 2015 AIR writer Yasmine El Rashidi, Headlands residencies can be life changing: The residency was completely transformative...I walked and walked the trails for hours. My mind opened, I walked through and out of anxieties, I walked into ideas, out of them. I watched the nature around me, which can only be inspiring. My fellow artists were extraordinary. With each one I exchanged something, gained something, learned something. I made lifelong friends with people I admire. I left a changed person—emotionally, intuitively, creatively. This is an experience I will carry with me forever. As always, we are tremendously grateful for the dedication, support, and generosity of spirit embodied by our staff, board, volunteers, partners, members, and the more than 1,350 artists who have lived and worked at Headlands over the past 33 years. None of this would have been possible without you, and we look forward to celebrating many more milestones over the next four years and beyond! P.S.
