Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA)

Since 1971, VCCA has offered residencies on its 412-acre Mount San Angelo estate in the foothills of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Each Fellow receives a private studio, private bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and three meals daily. The daily program cost of $240 is subsidized to a minimum contribution of $105/day, with generous financial aid distributed annually. Fellowships have been awarded to over 6,000 artists from 63 countries, including MacArthur Genius Grant recipients and Pulitzer Prize winners. Three application cycles per year; artists may be in residence only once every two years.
