VCCA (Virginia Center for the Creative Arts) is one of the largest artists' communities in the nation. Tucked into the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, VCCA has awarded fellowships to thousands of our best national and international writers, composers and visual artists. This blog tells their story—their achievements and the work they are doing in your area and around the world. VCCA news is here, too: events, fellowships, opportunities. VCCA. Because creative space is a creative edge.

On Saturday, January 8, Suny Monk presented Peggy Baggett, executive director of the Virginia Commission for the Arts, with a much-deserved Leadership in the Arts Award "for her dedication and inspiring leadership in the arts of Virginia for over three decades and eight governors." Peggy was unaware that VCCA was planning to give her this award when she came to their 40th Anniversary Celebration - so it was a big surprise! Congratulations, Peggy!
