Madeleine Wilhite, an arts professional based in San Francisco, has engaged with the arts–as an administrator, content creator and appreciator–for as long as she can remember. In her current position as Operations and Special Events Manager at Headlands Center for the Arts, she coordinates the volunteer and internship program, manages event rentals, and implements seasonal Open Houses among other public events. Originally from Portland, OR, Madeleine moved to California to earn a BA in Media Studies from Pitzer College. She has had the pleasure of working with a number of arts organizations and projects in the Bay Area and beyond, ranging from curating a fiber arts show, to interning at a contemporary art museum in far West Texas, and filling a variety of front line and behind the scenes positions at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. She is a member of the founding Board of Project 387, a brand new multidisciplinary residency program in Mendocino County, and recently received a NextGen Arts Professional Development grant. When not in the Marin Headlands you can find Madeleine in Big Sur, at a ceramics class, or sitting next to her backyard campfire.
