The ability to work uninterrupted for hours, days, weeks in a quiet studio cradled in 400 acres of rolling Blue Ridge farmland. These are just a few of the reasons why more than 400 of the world’s foremost writers, composers, and visual artists come to VCCA each year. Every residency includes a comfortable, private bedroom, three meals a day, and a private studio.

 “The artist’s privilege is the capacity to apprehend the nature and meaning of an experience in the terms of a given medium, and then make it tangible.” — Rudolf Arnheim, 1954, p. 174
