“VCCA created an atmosphere of such intense, quiet artistic pursuits that I began to finally realize that what I'd dreamed of having for myself was exactly that space: visual artists, composers, writers, each living and eating under the same roof, each with their own, private studio to quietly create art that will matter in the long run.”

—Fellow in Residence, 2010

Virginia Center for the Creative Arts Residency for Cave Canem Fellows

In May 2009, in partnership with Cave Canem, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts inaugurated a cohort residency for graduate Cave Canem fellows. Fellows have an opportunity to live and work in community with one another, while at the same time enjoying access to the larger VCCA environment and resources.

Established in 1971, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA) is an international working retreat for writers, visual artists and composers. Located on a 12-acre hilltop in Amherst County, VA, approximately 160 miles southwest of Washington, DC, the VCCA provides residential fellowships of two weeks to two months where artists may work free from the distractions and responsibilities of day-to-day life.

2011 Fellows in Residence: Holly Bass, Nicole Terez Dutton & Juliet P. Howard.

Deadline to Apply: January 30, 2012. Cave Canem Fellows interested in applying may contact Cave Canem for guidelines: amandajohnston@ccpoets.org
