About the Fellowship
This fellowship provides two- or three-week residencies to faculty of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) with at least three years of service. A VCCA residency at Mt. San Angelo includes a private bedroom with private bath, a separate individual studio, and three meals a day in a community of cross-disciplinary artists.
The L.E.A.W. Family Foundation has generously provided funds for the fellowship, an opportunity made possible by MICA alumna Linda Wachtmeister (Ceramics, ’73).
