“As you hairpin up the hill, your inner clock begins to slow, and you feel the rare gift this pastoral setting offers artists seeking refuge from the hubbub of daily life." 🧡 Thanks to @VirginiaLiving for this story about VCCA. https://t.co/WrsRnymXjk

I am overwhelmed & honored to announce that I have been selected to participate in a @VCCA writing residency.

Slowly but surely, my dreams are coming true. Thank you VCCA family.

I’m so humbled to join the ranks of previous #VCCAFellows.

October can’t come soon enough.

"It’s hard to imagine a place so bucolic and lovely being exciting, but it was. The combination of working on my own projects and sharing the ideas and energy of other artists was heady and validating. Thank you, VCCA." — Dana Salisbury #VCCAFellows #MtSanAngelo

“My time at VCCA was such a gift. I appreciated the energizing balance of solitude and community . . . quiet, focused days in the studio followed by evenings of conversation, shared meals, and connection. I was able to paint more freely than I ever have before.” — Hope Morgan
