Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA)

About

The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA) stands out as a prestigious international residency that fervently supports the uninterrupted creativity of artists across various disciplines. With two distinct locations, one nestled in the foothills of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains at Mt. San Angelo and the other in the picturesque French village of Auvillar at Le Moulin à Nef, VCCA offers unique environments conducive to artistic exploration and productivity. Residencies vary from one to six weeks, accommodating over 20 artists per session, including writers, visual artists, and composers. These residencies provide private bedrooms, en-suite baths, individual studio spaces, and communal meals prepared with local ingredients, catering to a range of dietary needs. The serene settings, combined with the community of like-minded peers, inspire deep focus and significant progress on creative projects. Furthermore, VCCA encourages interaction among its residents, fostering a vibrant exchange of ideas and practices that enrich each artist's experience. This residency is ideal for those seeking a blend of solitude for their work and the stimulating company of fellow artists in idyllic locations.
