Twice a year, VCCA hosts neighbors, friends, and supporters for a Saturday morning of light yard work and gardening to help keep the grounds of Mt. San Angelo, home to our world-renowned artist residency program, looking beautiful. Artists in residence often pause their studio work to join in volunteer activities. To participate, interested volunteers should sign up by the deadline. We’ll provide water, coffee, a light lunch, a gorgeous view, and good company!
Up Next: 2023 Spring Volunteer Day
Date: Saturday, April 1, 2023
Time: 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Location: VCCA, 154 San Angelo Drive, Amherst, Virginia

Details for Volunteers
What You Need: Please bring gardening gloves, pruning shears, and rakes if you have them. Consider a jacket/poncho, hat, sunscreen, water bottle, etc. — whatever will keep you comfortable outdoors! Bottled water will be available.
COVID-19 Protocol: To help keep our artist community safe, VCCA requires all visitors be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with an up-to-date booster. Volunteer Day activities will take place outdoors, but please be aware that masks may be required indoors.
Where to Go: Please park in the Fellows Parking Lot and head to the patio of the Fellows Residence to check in and help yourself to a cup of coffee before we begin. Download a map of the grounds to help you find your way around!
In Case of Rain: If there’s a need to reschedule due to weather, we will email pre-registered volunteers by 8:30 a.m. on the day of the event to let you know. If you don’t hear from us, we’ll proceed with the day as planned.
