the tournesol award 2024-2025

Since 2003, the Tournesol Award has recognized one local painter each year, supporting them in taking the first major steps toward establishing a career in the Bay Area. The Award gives financial and professional support to a dedicated painter in the critical early years of artistic development.

Designed to support the artist over a full year, the Tournesol Award provides a generous stipend, private studio, and access to Headlands’ creative community. The award year culminates in a funded final project of the artist’s choice, typically in the form of an exhibition or a publication
