VCCA-France was incorporated in 2006 as a French nonprofit organization under the French "law of 1901" and now offers a variety of cultural programs at Le Moulin à Nef, its studio center in the Gascon village of Auvillar. The principal program of VCCA-France is the residential fellowship program modeled on VCCA in Virginia. These residencies are available to VCCA Fellows and specially invited French artists. The deadline for VCCA-France is December 1.
VCCA-France supports the arts by inviting artists to Auvillar to foster creativity and by contributing to the development and promotion of the cultural and artistic life of Auvillar.
In addition, VCCA-France offers intensive, hands-on writing and painting workshops and cultural tours for artists at all levels as well as for seasoned travelers.
The 2012 Auvillar Arts Workshops have been announced. For more information on the 2012 Auvillar Workshops, click here.
