In the organiser's words

What the official page says.

Quoted from headlands.org and checked on 5 September 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.

Headlands describes fully sponsored residencies including studio space, chef-prepared meals, housing, travel and living expenses, with a monthly stipend of $1,000. Residencies run four to ten weeks and the programme states that approximately 50 to 60 artists are awarded annually. The programme page does not state an application deadline or an application fee, so neither is recorded.

The organiser publishes how many artists it takes, but not how many apply, so no rate is stated.

A rate needs both numbers. Nothing here is estimated from one.
