A generous endowment from the Elizabeth Ireland Graves Foundation allows the VCCA to fund five fellowships per year for artists who have been students or faculty at the Columbus School for Girls in Columbus, Ohio. In lieu of eligible candidates, the VCCA may, at its discretion, award these fellowships to other deserving artists. Recipients of this fellowship have included writers Katherine McNamara and Chuck Webster.
Established in memory of former VCCA President, Jane Camp, these Fellowships provide residencies for outstanding artists from around the world. This fund had been nurtured over the years by the Camp family and has provided residencies for dozens of deserving artists.
Each year, the VCCA awards two fully-funded one-month residencies for Montana artists, writers or composers funded by the LEAW Foundation of Missoula. Applications are currently being accepted for residencies between June and September 2009 with a postmark deadline for applications of January 15, 2009. To apply, submit a standard application with a cover letter indicating your interest in the LEAW Fellowship. Click here for more information.
