This semester will host new and returning faculty across programs. Our VCFA faculty are entrepreneurs, business owners, activists, Lambda Award winners, National Book Award nominees, Critics Choice Award nominees, working and touring artists, and more. The 2024 winter-spring faculty, with the exception of residency-only faculty, will be paired with current students at residency and mentor their advising cohort for the next six months.

Plus, learn more about the visiting and guest artists and lecturers attending our winter 2024 residency at our winter residency highlights page.
