Penny Harter
Heading for VCCA on Monday!
Well, it’s almost time for me to go to VCCA, and I’m very excited! Here’s my address and contact info for while I’m there (1/10-1/25). I will have my own postal maibox there, and will also have my netbook & cell phone—and the facility is wireless. However, I don’t intend to be on-line nearly as much; I am really looking forward to working on several writing projects, including one involving my great-great-grandmother’s journal from 1890 in Utica, NY.

Studio Barn
Fellows at the VCCA work in their own private studios, most of which are located in a renovated Normandy style barn built in the 1930s. All studios are air-conditioned and heated. There is no smoking in the barn or cottage . The entire campus of VCCA is a non-smoking area. Ten studios in the barn are dedicated to writers, plus there are two more studios with private bedrooms in a newly renovated cottage.
Elizabeth Coles Langhorne Residence for Fellows
Named for founder Elizabeth Langhorne, the VCCA Fellows Residence houses bedrooms, dining facilities, kitchens, a library, laundry facilities, and recreation rooms. Each bedroom is private with a private sink and semi-private bath. Sliding glass doors open onto vistas of rolling pastures and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The living room has a large fireplace and grand piano. An adjoining room has a television with satellite reception. The library, with its hardy collection of books and journals, is also equipped with a high-speed wireless connection and a computer for checking email and a variety of audio equipment. The residence is a five-minute walk from the studio barn. There is no smoking in the Fellows’ Residence.
