• Among artists, the VCCA is very well-known, and
  through our Fellows word-of-mouth marketing, our
  reputation is as solid as the service we provide.
  But we are learning that the VCCA is not so well
  known among supporters of the arts-those patrons
  whose support and goodwill mean the difference
  between existing and not.
