Virginia Center for the Creative Arts is located in Amherst, VA, approximately 3 hrs. southwest of Washington DC. I spent time there this past summer (2009) with a variety of visual, literary and music artists. Pictured above, are the artist dromitory building, and the barn-studio. The entire complex is air-conditioned and well appointed. It provides an intensly focused situation for independent work and self-directed growth. During my stay, Barbara Bernstein, the year-round resident VCCA artist, opened her site specific Things are not what they seem, nor are they otherwise installation at Hollins Univserity, Wilson Museum (July 16-August 22, 2009). Other like-inspirational evening events included composer Diane Moser's presentation of Walter Thompson's Sound Painting techniques. Check out the site http://www.vcca.com/
It was so wonderful to meet you Tom-and you guys were wonderful Soundpainters!
ReplyDeleteHi Tom,
ReplyDeleteAny chance that you are the same Tom Wagner, who attended Lycee Jaccard in Switzerland in the late 1960s?
If so please contact me at valkelley@comcast.net concerning a mutual friend, Eric Fenno.
