About the Award
Supported by the Phillip and Edith Leonian Foundation, this fellowship provides photographers who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. with a fully-funded two-week residency. The VCCA residency at Mt. San Angelo includes a private bedroom with en-suite bath, a separate individual studio (as well as access to VCCA’s darkroom), and three meals a day in a community of cross-disciplinary artists.
Founded in 2009, the Phillip and Edith Leonian Foundation helps fund important endeavors promoting photographic education and documentary photography across the United States. Its goal is to raise awareness of and appreciation for the field of photography, and for the photographers themselves.
