About the Fellowship
The Goldfarb Family Fellowship offers writers of creative nonfiction a fully-funded two-week VCCA residency at Mt. San Angelo. The fellowship was established in 2000 through the generosity of writer, literary agent, and former VCCA Board Member Ronald Goldfarb and is sponsored by The Robert and Aida Goldfarb Art Law Literary Fund.
The residency includes a private bedroom with private bath, a separate individual studio, and all meals provided in a community of cross-disciplinary artists.
