A Midsummer Night’s Gala

Join the Party & Support the Magic of Creativity

You’re invited to a magical evening at Mt. San Angelo, home to VCCA’s flagship artist residency program in the rolling foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Enjoy a festive gathering featuring dinner, drinks, and entertainment in an inspiring setting.

Rain or shine!

  • Date & Time: Saturday, June 14, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. — Rain or shine!
  • Location: VCCA, 154 San Angelo Drive, Amherst, VA

Night-of Match Challenge

With your help, VCCA has the opportunity to meet a generous $10,000 matching gift from an anonymous donor! Make an online gift on the night of the gala to be part of this special opportunity to support creativity and community.

This annual fundraising event supports VCCA’s single most important revenue source — the Annual Fund. VCCA must raise more than 50% of its operating budget each year through the Annual Fund, which provides for the day-to-day needs that make this artist community possible. When you support the gala, you are supporting the hundreds of artists who come to VCCA each year to create the literature, visual art, and music that define our culture and enrich our society.

Gala 2024 Recap

At last year’s event on June 15, 2024, VCCA’s Studio Barn transformed for the evening into a Havana-inspired oasis with help from Meriwether Godsey, Fox Grape Designs, and Jstop Latin Soul. Thank you to our sponsors and everyone who joined the party to raise $80,000 for our Annual Fund as we closed out Fiscal Year 2024. The event was featured in Virginia Living Magazine’s “About Town” section.
