Headlands Center for the Arts – Artist in Residence The Artist in Residence (AIR) program awards fully sponsored residencies to approximately 50 local, national, and international artists each year. Residencies of four to ten weeks include studio space, chef-prepared meals, comfortable housing, and travel and living expense reimbursements. AIRs become part of a dynamic community of artists participating in Headlands’ other programs, allowing for exchange and collaborative relationships to develop within the artist community on campus. Artists selected for this program are at all stages in their careers and work in all media, including drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, film, video, new media, installation, fiction and nonfiction writing, poetry, dance, music, interdisciplinary, social practice, and architecture.

If you are enrolled in a long-term artist residency program, please note you are only eligible to apply in the Award city where you permanently reside. Additionally, you must make yourself available to meet with jurors for a 45 minute virtual studio visit should you be chosen as a Finalist.
Unless applying as a collaborative, you must be the sole conceptual author of the artwork submitted in the application; if there are collaborators that share authorship of the submitted work they must be clearly identified and credited.
*If you have temporarily relocated due to COVID-19 please email us at info@artadia.org

Artadia is committed to equity, diversity, inclusion and believes in fostering mutual respect for the diverse beliefs of all individuals and groups.

While we welcome applications from artists at all stages of their practice, Artadia Awardees demonstrate a high level of artistic excellence, maintain a rigorous practice and have a clear artistic voice.

Previous jurors have recommended that artists submit work that has been created within the past three years. Though you may submit more than one slide of the same artwork, we recommend that you provide a representative sample of the breadth of your creative work.
PLEASE NOTE: Video submissions are limited to video art, animation, and performance documentation. Feature length commercial films and documentaries, music videos, and commercial music projects are not eligible.

APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS
Artadia employs a rigorous two-tier jury process that combines local expertise with outside perspective from leading national and international curators and artists. A preliminary panel evaluates all submissions and selects six Award Finalists. A second panel of two curators, one based in the Award city, will conduct virtual studio visits with the six Finalists. Of the Finalists, the jurors will designate three artists to receive awards of $10,000 each in unrestricted funds.

In Cahoots Residency In Cahoots Residency, Petaluma CA, provides housing and studio space to both emerging and professional artists in a variety of mediums, with a focus on artists books, letterpress, printmaking, writing, and collaboration. The residency hosts from three to five artists at a time in 1-week, 2-week or 4-week sessions. Residents are provided individual guest houses and 24-hour access to the spacious shared studio. In Cahoots is a place of collaboration and creative energy, a rare opportunity for uninterrupted work time as well as creative dialog with other artists. Our pastoral location, light-filled studios, and collaborative spirit inspire artists to make new discoveries and leave with a renewed passion for their work.

The spacious printmaking and book arts studios are in a renovated barn, with modern conveniences and historic charm. The letterpress studio, located in the former horse barn, is fully equipped with a Vandercook Universal I, a Vandercook Universal III automated press, polymer plate bases, and a large collection of lead and wood type of a variety of sizes. The etching studio, with northern light and exposed beams overhead, houses a Takach 40 x 72 etching press, acid area for etching, a large drying rack and work tables. The book bindery is in a separate wing of the barn and includes a Jacques board shear, guillotine paper cutter, large clean work table, drymount press and nipping press.

With separate housing and socially distanced studios, residencies have continued throughout COVID-19. Next deadlines are June 1, and October 1, 2022, for residencies that will take place in 2023. Grants are available.

SFAC Galleries & SFPL: COVID-19 Community Time Capsule Project The COVID-19 Community Time Capsule is a collection located at the San Francisco History Center of the San Francisco Public Library that documents and preserves the collective experiences of San Francisco residents during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

For this opportunity, SFAC Galleries is partnering with SFPL requesting proposals of projects by artists of all disciplines that respond to the COVID-19 public health crisis. The completed works will be preserved in the COVID-19 Community Time Capsule at SFPL and shared with the public, as well as remain in the City and Country Archives of San Francisco for long-term preservation.

Projects must reflect the events that took place during the COVID-19 public health emergency. Proposals may include projects that have been initiated in 2020 or new projects. We are accepting proposals from artists of all disciplines; however, the final form of the project must be in a form appropriate to be housed at the San Francisco History Center (see Selection Process for more details).

Call for Artists – A Between This exhibition explores how environments shape the perceptions and positions that guide ideas of self, connection to others, and collective activity.
