Serving over 300 artists a year (over 2500 since its inception), the VCCA is one of the nation’s largest year-round artists’ communities.
VCCA Fellows have received worldwide attention through publication, exhibitions, compositions, performances, and major awards and accolades, including MacArthur grants, Pulitzer Prizes, Guggenheim fellowships, National Endowment for the Arts awards, Rome Prizes, Pollock-Krasner grants, a National Book Award, Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, and Academy Award Nominations.
The VCCA has been a well spring of music, literature and the visual arts in the United States, providing residencies for artists from all disciplines during the most important and the least supported phase of their work: the creative phase.
This is done by giving visual artists, writers, composers, performance artists, filmmakers, collaborating artists, and those whose work crosses disciplines the crucial elements every artist needs, the time and space to do their work.
