In the organiser's words

What the official page says.

Quoted from vcca.com and checked on 24 August 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.

VCCA's Summer cycle closes September 15, 2026, covering residencies from May to August 2027 at Mt. San Angelo. Fellows receive a private bedroom with en-suite bath, a private studio and three prepared meals a day for up to six weeks. Be clear on cost: VCCA's Annual Fund covers more than half the actual cost and artists are expected to contribute the rest, though over $150,000 a year in financial aid and a list of fully funded named fellowships are available.
