Twice a year, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts at Mt. San Angelo opens to the public for Open Studios. These days — one in the spring and one in the fall — offer a special opportunity to step inside VCCA’s Studio Barn complex, where writers, visual artists, and composers from across the nation and around the world come to pursue their creative work.
Up Next: Fall Open Studios
Date: Sunday, October 20, 2024
Time: 4 to 6 p.m.
Location: VCCA, 154 San Angelo Drive, Amherst, VA 24521
Participating artists in residence open their individual VCCA studios to the community. You’re invited to come see what they’re working on and to chat with them about their creative processes. Visitors are also welcome to take a self-guided tour of the grounds and VCCA’s outdoor art collection during Open Studio hours. Light refreshments will be served.
