This fully-funded VCCA fellowship is intended to support a female-identifying fiction writer each year for a two-week residency. The VCCA residency at Mt. San Angelo includes a private bedroom with en-suite bath, a separate individual studio, and three meals a day in a community of cross-disciplinary artists.
This fellowship is supported by VCCA Fellow Edward Hower in memory of his late wife Alison Lurie. Alison Stewart Lurie was an American novelist and academic. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her 1984 novel Foreign Affairs. Although better known as a novelist, she wrote many non-fiction books and articles, particularly on children’s literature and the semiotics of dress.
