2006 and 2007 ANNUAL REPORT
Virginia Center for the Creative Arts
35th Anniversary Edition
The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts is a year-round community that provides a
supportive environment for superior national and international visual artists, writers and composers of all
cultural and economic backgrounds, to pursue their creative works.

L
ast fiscal year, the VCCA celebrated its 35th anniversary, a milestone we shared during a community day with 600
Fellows, friends and neighbors who joined us at Mt. San Angelo for the event–their presence a pleasing endorsement
of our enduring value. But beyond the festivities of our birthday year, and the whimsy of our stellar fund raiser, the
Bohemian Ball, the previous year, there has been much focused, day-to-day work done by the staff and the Board to keep the
VCCA functioning at its current level of excellence.
As we consider the multitude of daily decisions that will impact the health and longevity of an organization as important
as the VCCA, the staff and I often come upon various crossroads. Should we embark on an exchange with an organization in
Argentina? How will that affect who we are and how we are perceived in the world? Should we talk about the contributions
Fellows make to our operations as “gifts” or “fees?” But once in a while we come to a major crossroads: Should we seek a
facility where we can control our own destiny rather than continue to rent the beloved Mt. San Angelo? Should we change
the name of the organization? Should we continue our operations at Le Moulin à Nef?
As the fiscal year came to a close this past June, those major crossroads were on the horizon.
The ongoing efforts to stabilize the fiscal house of the VCCA led us to bring in a series of consultants over the course of two years. Our own Board member, business planner Christine Brennan,
completed a strategic assessment of the VCCA, and Russell Willis Taylor of National Arts Strategies evaluated our financial health and fund-raising potential. Then we contracted with The Kellogg
Organization, professional fund raising counsel, to help take the next step in the effort to endow
the future of the VCCA.
Of course, the ultimate reason behind all the machinations is the far loftier goal of supporting
the work of individual artists, and we try to keep that in the forefront as we go about daily tasks. In
fiscal years 2006 and 2007, the VCCA hosted 601 Fellows at Mt. San Angelo. Of these, 336 were
writers, 211 visual artists and 53 composers. We hosted international Fellows from 16 countries,
including Ethiopia, the Netherlands, Burkina Faso, Japan and Nigeria. This cross-pollination of cultures and exchange of ideas is one of our guiding principles at the VCCA, and a big reason behind
our internationalism.
We took another important step in 2006 with a collaboration with the Woodhull Institute for
Ethical
Leadership. For the first time in a decade, we shut down the VCCA for four days so that
Will Holub
we could host a career-building weekend workshop for VCCA writers. Naomi Wolf, who joined
our Board earlier in the year, worked with 22 writers from around the country, showing them ways to reach wider audiences with their writing. One of the writers emailed us the next week to say that she had re-edited her pitch for a story
to Harpers, where it had languished for weeks, and that two hours later the editor called her and commissioned the piece.
We do love stories like that, and we also know how hard that road can be. We work every day to ensure that the VCCA
is here to make time and space for artists to do the important work they do. So we approach the crossroads, look both
ways, and take the next step.

ears ago one of my brothers was preoccupied with how we die and with reflections on his life’s final chapter.
How did I know? The book on his coffee table: How We Die – Reflections on Life’s Final Chapter.
Recently my wife and I have been considering the end of our own lives. Not so much how we’ll leave this world
as how to continue contributing to it after we’re gone.
For years we’ve been saying, “We really must
write our wills,” as though earnestness were
enough to get the deed done. But without children, we continually stumbled over how to distribute our “estate.” We are not affluent by any
stretch. Whenever I refer to our “estate” my voice
adds its own quotation marks. We both work for a
living: Nancy does communications for University
of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education
and teaches a course at the University of the Arts,
I run a communications consulting business and
direct a small theater program. We don’t make a
lot, but we save our money, and when we’re gone
there should be something left over.
We also both constantly struggle to protect
time for our lives as artists. Nancy photographs
and writes photography criticism, I write fiction
and creative nonfiction. Over the past decade I’ve
been fortunate to scare up the time and money
for three residencies at VCCA, and each has been invigorating and productive. In fact, it was a conversation about VCCA
that helped us achieve a breakthrough on the whole will issue.
Nancy and I have decided to use our wills to help artists nurture their creative lives. So now, when we’re gone, everything we
own will go to endow support for working artists, including an endowed fellowship at VCCA for writers and photographers.
All this grappling with mortality has not been easy, but it has helped Nancy and me affirm what’s important in our lives.
We haven’t yet tackled How We Die but I do believe we’ve discerned something about how we live.

Board, and Fellows, these
words are a balm. The artist, often
working under financially tenuous conditions, is freed of financial burdens.
The staff and Board of Directors are
relieved of the challenge of seeking
dozens of small gifts to pay for each
residency, averaging thousands of
dollars. In fiscal year 2006 and 2007,

hen visual artist Sue Johnson was invited to be a VCCA-Sweet Briar College Fellow, she was intently
working on her on-going project, The Alternate Encyclopedia, an investigation into the history and
practice of collecting and cataloguing nature. So when Sweet Briar scheduled an exhibition of this work,
the timing proved ideal for Sue, the Steven Muller Distinguished Professor of Art at St. Mary’s College of Maryland,
to return for a VCCA residency while lecturing at the college. During her two-week fellowship, Sue worked with
Professor of Studio Art Laura Pharis and her printmaking class, focusing on monotype techniques, and gave two
public lectures.
This partnership with Sweet Briar allows students to
encounter accomplished artists and their work in an informal setting. “This encouraged them to share issues and
ask questions of importance to them after having had a
chance to digest the lectures, exhibition and class visits,”
says Sue. Being a participant in this collaborative program,
which provides Sweet Briar extended access to established artists who may also develop new work at the
VCCA, was a stimulating impetus to think about her own
work in unexpected ways. “A residency, no matter what
kind, is an opportunity to interact with an arts-interested
community, which can lead to conversations about an artists’ work that might not happen at a formal opening or
lecture,” she says.
Sue has more recently traveled to the Salzburg Künstlerhaus artist residency in Austria as part of the VCCA’s
exchange program. She stretched beyond her normal disciplines of painting and printmaking to create slip-cast
(porcelain) china as an artist-in-residence at the Arts/Industry Program of the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in
Sheboygan, Wisconsin. She has also had successful exhibitions at Swarthmore College and the Brooklyn Botanic
Gardens’ Steinhardt Gallery, which featured new paintings on paper.

s the recipient of the 2007 VCCA Award for Excellence in the Arts, Philadelphia based composer
and educator Anna Weesner received a month-long residency and used the valuable time to meet
an impending deadline. Established in 2003 and rotating through three disciplines, the award is presented annually to a prominent writer, visual artist or composer whose significant achievement in the arts is widely recognized. Administered by the Fellows
Council, the award is endowed by a treasured friend of the VCCA.
“This residency was especially well-timed, enabling me to finish a new piece
for string quartet that was performed in Newburyport, Massachusetts, in August,” says Anna, an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
The pressure of having to meet her deadline was softened by knowing that
each day at the VCCA she had daily access to a safe haven–the studio–and the
quietude she needed to work.
“I can’t say enough about how meaningful it was to step into my studio every
day,” says Anna, the mother of two small boys. “There is a sense of space and time,
a wonderful access to quiet. It was like stepping into a habit of concentration and
continuity, a habit I know from working in the past, but which has been harder to
come by in recent years with teaching, kids and so on. At the VCCA it was as if I
had a very quick and natural access to that daily habit of concentration.”
Winning the award, says Anna, was a psychic boost, a kind of offering of general support from a community that cares deeply about artistry and creativity.
Now that her residency has ended, Anna hopes to replicate the VCCA feeling in her home studio.
Anna’s work has been widely commissioned and performed. Her orchestral
music has been selected for reading sessions by the Indianapolis Symphony, the
American Composers Orchestra, for their Whitaker Reading Sessions, and the
Women’s Philharmonic of San Francisco. She is the recipient of a 2003 Pew
Fellowship in the Arts and a 2002 Bunting Fellowship. Other awards include a Young Composer Award from
ASCAP and the Brian Israel Prize.

ometimes a shorter residency period can be as productive as a longer one. Maybe even more so. The compression of a limited time period in which to work can sharpen one’s focus, harness and channel creative energy. This
was the case for Tom Piazza when he was in residency for only ten days in March 2006, following a fiction workshop he was teaching at Sweet Briar College.
A well-known novelist, music writer and resident of New Orleans, Tom had just gone through the chaos of Hurricane
Katrina seven months earlier. Immediately following the
storm, in just five weeks while displaced and living in
Missouri, he wrote Why New Orleans Matters. His publisher, HarperCollins, brought the book out in November
2005, and it received the 2006 Humanities Book of the
Year Award from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. Subsequently, Tom was on the road teaching
workshops and promoting his book. When he wasn’t
traveling, he was in New Orleans coming to grips with
the logistical and emotional fallout from Katrina.
“That residency in March was the first time I had a
chance to stop and catch my breath after the madness that followed the storm,” says Tom, author of eight
books, including the Faulkner Award-winning novel My
Cold War.
While at the VCCA for that period, in a residency
funded by the Gulf Hurricane Victims Fund–an effort to
support Fellows affected by the 2005 storms–Tom conceived a novel about the hurricane experience. He wrote approximately 10,000 words during his ten-day residency and HarperCollins bought the novel based on that work.
“It was one of the most concentrated and productive stretches of writing that I’ve had,” says Tom. “VCCA is almost
always a haven from whatever else is going on in your life. It gives artists time, space and freedom to concentrate on what
they are doing. This is useful no matter what your life looks like. Time at VCCA is a great gift.”
Since Tom’s first residency at the VCCA in 1999, he has won numerous awards for his writing, including a Grammy
Award in 2004 for his album notes to “Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: A Musical Journey.” He is also the three-time
winner of the prestigious ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award for Music Writing, most recently in 2006 for his book Understanding Jazz, commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center.

uring his seven-week residency in April 2007, Brooklyn-based filmmaker Rodney Evans armed himself with biographies, novels, oral history interviews and music to continue research for his feature film project, “Daydream,” a
surreal drama about two very different legends of jazz, Billy Strayhorn and Buddy Bolden.
Jointly funded by former VCCA Board member Jackie Bradley, and her husband, Ralph, and Tanya and Jim Egan, and a
CSG Fellowship, Rodney’s residency allowed him the time to delve into the jazz culture of the 1940s.
“I needed to immerse myself very deeply in a specific cultural and historical milieu,” says Rodney, whose work explores
the intersection of race, class, sexuality and history in the lives of African-Americans, requiring extensive amounts of research. “The VCCA provided me with an oasis away from the
distractions of everyday life where this could happen.”
During his most recent stay at Mt. San Angelo, Rodney
wrote 70 pages of the script for “Daydream.” Without the
sponsored fellowship, he maintains it would not have been
possible to take such a lengthy period of time to focus solely
on the research and writing phase of the project.
“I think all artists need the time to create work in an environment where you feel unfettered and free to explore
new ideas and challenges and also embrace risk,” says Rodney,
whose first screenplay, “Brother to Brother,” was also written
at the VCCA. The film premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film
Festival, where it won the Special Jury Prize in Drama, and
aired nationally on PBS.
Post-residency, Rodney continues working towards completion of “Daydream.” He will submit the screenplay to the
Sundance Filmmakers Lab in early September, the first step in
moving the project from script to screen. He targets shooting Filmmaker Rodney Evans, left, on the set of “Brother to Brother”
to begin in the fall of 2008.
“From the experience of writing my first screenplay at VCCA in 2000, and the current one, I’ve found the work completed in Virginia really provides the base from which the rest of the screenplay is built. The post-residency writing I do
has more direction and focus because of the amazing amount of work I accomplish during a residency.”

ovelist and memoirist Doug Crandell, recipient of the 2005 Goldfarb Family Fellowship endowed by former
Board member Ronald Goldfarb, arrived at the VCCA expecting to find a more formal and academic atmosphere than what actually awaited him at Mt. San Angelo. He was pleasantly surprised to find the relaxed
and casual environment, and particularly enjoyed the camaraderie of being
surrounded by other writers, composers and visual artists.
Doug felt so at home in fact, he describes it as “at times, surreal,” since he
spent so much time working on cattle, dairy and pig farms as a boy growing
up in Indiana.
Now a full-time grants writer for a human service organization, Doug appreciated the wide open stretch of time that lay before him at the VCCA. He
quickly settled into a productive routine that, in the end, netted him an average
of 4,000 words a day of what he describes as “pure writing,” and then another
large chunk of editing time.
The sum of all these days and words, two weeks in total, added up to The
All-American Industrial Hotel, a memoir published in March 2007 by Chicago
Review Press. His first novel, The Flawless Skin of Ugly People–begun while on
the same residency in the time left over after finishing his memoir–is due out
this fall from Virgin Books.
“Being at the VCCA was a complete pardon from my everyday life and
made me a better writer,” says Doug, who lives in Marietta, Georgia, with his
wife and young daughter. “I learned more about focus and about being completely present when I am writing and editing.”
Doug has published widely in literary magazines and anthologies; his debut
memoir Pig Boy’s Wicked Bird, published in 2004, was a Quality Book Club
selection. This fall he is on a national book tour promoting The Flawless Skin of
Ugly People.
“It was quite an honor, given the tradition of Mr. Goldfarb’s fantastic writing,
to think of my own work and realize that the Goldfarb family believes it is
worthy enough for their support,” says Doug. “The endowed residency at the
VCCA provided me with the opportunity to become much better at what I am doing. As the weeks went by I was
working so much better because I made the effort. It will be a lifelong gift now that I have learned that skill set.”

“S
l
ymbiosis,” the title of Mexican composer Ana Paola Santillan Alcocer’s three-movement piece for
piano and cello composed during her two-month residency, could easily define her VCCA experience
as well. As a participant in the UNESCO ASCHBERG Bursaries for Artists program, which annually
sponsors a two-month residency at the
VCCA for a Latin American composer
under the age of 45, Paola found her
work mirrored by the valuable personal
and professional exchanges she enjoyed
at the VCCA.
Living communally with visual artists,
composers and writers during the summer of 2005 in an atmosphere of cooperation and mutual respect was, by her
own evaluation, a turning point in her life
and career.
“It was very important to me to interact with other artists and I found the
VCCA a perfect place for that,” she says.
“Just listening to other artists’ lives and
exploring their art was a unique experience for me.”
Her musical compositions, influenced
by the folk music of Mexico, were given
several presentations during her productive stay at VCCA, which even included an
Aztec-inspired dinner she prepared one night for Fellows and staff.
After leaving the VCCA, Symbiosis was performed at Mexico City’s Palacio de Bellas Artes. Currently the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship studying musical composition in the graduate program at Rice University in Houston,
Texas, Paola remembers her time at the VCCA with gratitude and appreciation. She acknowledges that being
awarded a fellowship, while being sponsored by the UNESCO program, represented a happy confluence of events
that continues to impact her work.

n the third year of ownership of Le Moulin à Nef, the VCCA is becoming more and more an integral part of community life in the tiny hamlet of Auvillar. In 2006 and 2007, we hosted 35 Fellows there, and the cultural exchange
between the Auvillarais and VCCA artists continues to flourish via open studios, readings and social activities.
To thank our many Auvillar neighbors who have helped us along the way, Executive Director Suny Monk hosted a festive community dinner, inviting participants to join the newly created membership organization, VCCA France, and many
did, further cementing the community’s support of VCCA. Much like Le Moulin à Nef structures, with their modernized
17th-century architectural bones, the VCCA remains committed to its core mission of supporting writers, visual artists
and composers in the creation of new work while developing initiatives to keep the outpost in France financially viable.
To this end, in June, Resident Director Jeannette McDougall welcomed VCCA Fellows and poets Nick Carbó and
Denise Duhamel who led the inaugural VCCA Auvillar Writers
Workshop, a poetry intensive entitled, “Poets as Pilgrims.” The
workshop drew a diverse group for a week of classes, readings,
sightseeing and delicious meals.
At both the instructive and institutional levels, the poetry workshop was highly successful and an important first step as we
continue to negotiate our foray into international programming.
Encouraged by the response to the poetry workshop, and the
July 2007 Fiction Workshop led by VCCA Fellows Helen Benedict
and Stephen O’Connor, three
additional writing workshops
and two cultural tours are
scheduled for September and
In June, Executive Director Suny Monk (center) hosted a community dinner in Auvillar
October. These workshops are
geared to all levels of writers and artists, and enrollment is open to the public. Complete details and registration information are available on the VCCA’s website.
Another growing program allows other arts organizations to rent the facility for
their own programming. A group of artists from the Southwest School of Art & Craft
returned to Auvillar in July for a second year of a painting and drawing workshop led

Under the leadership of Sweet Briar President Harold
Whiteman and VCCA Board President Jane Camp,
the college leases the buildings and grounds of the
Mt. San Angelo estate to the VCCA for 25 years. Extensive renovations are needed, especially in the proposed studio complex, which is re-purposed from a
working barn (left) into suitable space for Fellows.
Woodhull
program
At the end of fiscal year 2006, VCCA collaborated with the Woodhull Institute for Ethical
Leadership to host a three-day career-building workshop for VCCA writers. Led by Board
member Naomi Wolf and her colleagues from
the Woodhull Institute, the workshop focused
on helping increase the reach of our writers
and allowing them to more fully participate in
the national dialogue through venues such as
op-ed, magazine articles and book proposals.
Twenty-four writers from across the country attended the weekend workshop and expressed
great enthusiasm for the idea and the results.
Thanks to the Virginia Commission for the Arts
who partially supported the project.

On the occasion of its 25th anniversary, the VCCA commemorates this milestone with an exhibition of works by 50
VCCA Fellows and hosts a series of concerts. In the fall, the
VCCA hosts an important conference, “Independence: Sustaining America’s Artists,” to address the needs of artists, and
which results in the creation of the “Hedge-Apple Initiative,”
a national series of meetings to address the topic of just compensation and fair treatment of those who do creative work.
After directing the VCCA for
three decades, Bill Smart retires. Following a nationwide
search, Charlene (Suny) Monk
(left) is selected to lead one of
the nation’s largest and most
prestigious artists communities
into the next century.

For the second consecutive summer, the VCCA hosts an experimental program, known as “constructed residencies,” to spark dialogues that challenge and enrich all disciplines and genres. Funded
by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, five Native American writers and five country music songwriters are invited to be in residence together and pursue collaborative projects. The previous summer six popular songwriters and six language poets were in residence together. • In October, the
VCCA receives the Governor’s Award in the Arts, a recognition that has been given only three times
in Virginia’s history. The VCCA was one of only nine recipients from a nomination pool of 1,200, and
one of only two arts organizations ever to receive the award, which is presented by the governor
during a ceremony in Richmond.

With new programs and staff, the VCCA outgrows its existing office space,
and the staff moves into what was the Executive Director’s residence. The
new structure (left), expanded and renovated, is designed by Craddock Cunningham Architectural Partners
in Lynchburg to complement the property’s existing architecture. Coinciding with this growth is the return of
the “VCCA cows” to the property. Owned by local farmers who lease grazing rights at Mt. San Angelo from
Sweet Briar College, these cows inspire Fellows, who over the years have made them the subject of poems,
drawings and many, many other artworks. Above, one of the infamous vaches with one of a series of soapstone
sculptures by Lorca Morello, who envisioned them as scratching posts for the VCCA’s beloved bovines.

Greater Lynchburg Community Trust,
The Donnell-Kay Foundation of Denver, Colorado, donates to the VCCA
“Le Moulin à Nef,” (left), a property in the village of Auvillar in Southern
France. The VCCA expands its international programming with residencies,
workshops and other projects in this renovated 17th-century facility. At a
ceremony in New York City, Ha Jin, award-winning novelist, receives the first
VCCA Award for Excellence in the Arts. Endowed by an anonymous donor,
the award acknowledges the vital role of the arts, the importance of artists
and the necessity of time and space for the creation phase of art. At Mt. San
Angelo, the studio barn receives a much-need roof replacement.

The VCCA celebrates its 35th anniversary with a community day and
local art and photography exhibitions. In June, beloved long-time employee Robert Johnson dies after almost three decades of service to
the VCCA and particularly to Fellows. The staff and Fellows Council
create the Robert Johnson Endowed Fellowship. The VCCA partners
with the Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership and hosts the first
of a series of “career-building” workshops to help writers gain a wider
audience for their work.
Expanding its international programming, the VCCA finalizes the work necessary to form VCCA France, a French non-profit entity, becoming one of only
six artists communities with property in more than one country. Simultaneously, the VCCA initiates a series of writing workshops and cultural tours that
are led by VCCA Fellows and held at the Moulin à Nef property in Auvillar,
France. These workshops are open to the public. The facility continues to be
of interest to outside groups, such as the Southwest School of Art & Craft in
San Antonio, Texas, that rent the Moulin à Nef for their programming.
