SUPPORT THE VCCA Help us help the world's artists | |
For 36 years the Virginia Center for Creative Arts has quietly gone about the business of supporting artists and their work. We provide a studio, three meals a day, and a place to live where artists may focus on their work with clarity and dedication. We nourish the arts (literally), without demand, interference or constraint. To date, more than 3,000 artists have come through our doors. Artists supported by the VCCA have gone on to win National Book Awards and Pulitzer Prizes, exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, and seen their work premiered by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at Lincoln Center. They have enriched the cultural life of this country, and the world, in ways impossible to measure. To continue our mission, we need your help. Artists' fees alone cover only 40 percent of our operating budget. To sustain the VCCA as a vital part of the art-making equation we need the support of individuals, foundations, and corporations. Your gift of cash, credit, or stock will help us meet our operating budget, and provide housing, studio space, meals, local transportation, and professional assistance. You can help us fulfill the ongoing mission of the VCCA by downloading a VCCA gift form and returning it with your check or credit card contribution. All contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. The Virginia Center for Creative Arts is a 501(c)3 non-profit arts organization. Each autumn, the VCCA sends out its Annual Appeal to friends and Fellows alike. If you would like to make an annual appeal gift, please download the gift form or email Associate Director of Development Carol O'Brien. Any contribution of $25 or more may be made in honor of or in memory of individuals or families. Acknowledgements of these special gifts will be sent to the donor and those honored. For more information, please click on the menu options to the right, or contact VCCA's Associate Director of Development Carol O'Brien.
