The Tournesol Award is sponsored by the Headlands, and was established by an anonymous donor to recognize one emerging artist each yea whose primary medium is painting. The goal is to provide the artist with the financial and community support to assist their artistic development in the critical years after school. The award includes a cash stipend, a one year residency at the Headlands and a solo exhibition at a Bay Area venue.
the luggage store is a non profit multidisciplinary arts organization esablished in 1987, with three venues in downtown San Francisco: the luggage store gallery at 1007 Market Street, the luggage store annex (aka 509 Cultural Center) at 509 Ellis Street and Cohen Alley (a green community commons--also known as the Tenderloin National Forest-- for public art and social interventions). The luggage store's vital exhibition, performing arts, public arts and arts education programs are decided to broadening aesthetic networks by encouraging the flow of images and ideas between different cultural and economic communities.
