The VCCA Advisory Council is comprised of internationally known visual artists, composers and writers.

VCCA
A Creative Space

For forty years, VCCA has awarded fellowships to thousands
of this century’s most exceptional writers, composers and visual artists.
In the quiet Blue Ridge Mountain solitude of individual studios,
our Fellows find the time, space and freedom to produce award-winning works
that fill concert halls, galleries, libraries and theaters around the world.

We look forward to the next forty years
of nourishing the creativity that enriches our civilization.

"For forty years,
VCCA has been a haven, a harbor, a nursery,
a diving board, a launch pad, a swing,
a rest stop, a rodeo.
There, people hunker down, anchor, plant,
harvest, leap, soar, return.
The fruits of these efforts belong to all of us." 
               Gregory Maguire
               VCCA Fellow, VCCA Advisory Council member, and author of the novel, WIcked
