Thank you to everyone who joined VCCA for a fabulous fundraising event on Saturday, June 17, 2023. Patrons of the arts joined VCCA Board, friends, and supporters at Mt. San Angelo, home to VCCA’s flagship artist residency program in the rolling foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, for a special evening featuring:
- Live music by Martina DaSilva
- Dinner, dessert, and drinks by Meriwether Godsey
- Silent auction featuring artwork by VCCA Fellows
In addition to supporting VCCA’s Annual Fund, this year’s fundraising gala once again benefitted VCCA’s 50th Anniversary Fellowships for Artists of Color — a landmark program that is providing free first-time VCCA residencies to 50 artists of color each year. Gifts to VCCA’s Annual Fund and 50th Anniversary Fund help ensure VCCA can deliver on the full scope of its mission: to provide time and space to national and international writers, visual artists, and composers of talent and promise to bring forth their finest works, because the arts are vital, diversity is a strength, and creativity is essential.
