Headlands Center for the Arts

Members Dinner is a once-a-season opportunity for our members to experience an evening at Headlands through the lens of Artists. Savor a fresh, family-style meal in our historic, artist-renovated Mess Hall. 

Following dinner, Bay Area artist Lena Wolff will give a talk about her recent studio and public projects, with examples that demonstrate connections between craft, art and the pursuit of democracy, making a case for creative collaboration as a primary and effective antidote to times of chaos and uncertainty. In addition to presenting a selection of mesmerizing images and the underlying themes of her work, she’ll offer thoughts about how we can proactively approach the political moment in the U.S., as individuals, artists and citizens, through methods that are tangible, collective and affirming of our humanity. 

Introduction to Sashiko Embroidery Workshop will be hosted by Lena Wolff before the Members Dinner.
