Their reading at Mt. San Angelo was a remarkable display of international community. Abderrahim Elkhasser read from his work in the musical language of his own country, then professors from Sweet Briar, Randolph and Lynchburg Colleges read the English translations along with several Fellows in residence. It was a magical evening. Executive Director Greg Smith and Board President Tina Walls in Auvillar, In New York, we christened our first VCCA “& Salon” with France, for VCCA’s 40th Anniversary Celebration. a reading by Jayne Anne Phillips and VCCA Fellow Alice McDermott, who read from a wonderful new work that had The first year of our fifth decade was exciting, tough and not yet been published.

Arriving as I did in September of 2016 as the fourth Executive Director at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, I look to this history for instruction and inspiration. I am particularly grateful for the wonderful team of staff members who keep both our locations humming and to Gregory Allgire Smith, for sharing his knowledge, insights and files before heading into retirement. The story told in these pages is grounded in the serious creative work of writers, visual artists, and composers from across the nation and around the world. It reflects the arc of VCCA’s forty-five year history of “providing creative space” and the organizational building blocks put in place over time to advance that mission.

It is begging the question to say that no obituary, no matter how carefully or lovingly written, could do justice to his life and accomplishments. He would have been the first to note, with one of those famous harrumphs, that inarticulateness is the last refuge afike unintelligent, the uninformed, the lazy, and those lacking grace and wit. Be that as it may, he would have been the first to agree that, i'n the verbal as well as the visual arts, there is no substitute for the object itself. For that reason, rather theLn because of any of the aforementioned failures of intellect or of character, we reprint here his last written work. Completed only a few days before his death, it is the text ofa commencement address that he had been t'rtvited to deh'ver on May 23, 1981, to the graduating class of the Rhode Island School of Design. WHERE YOU ARE There has never been a time in which so much conscious knowledge has been crowded into the minds of so many people. Not only are we constantly aware of the full geographic extension of the earth and the galaxy in which it functions, but also of the vast variety of peoples who inhabit it and their beliefs and goals, often markedly different from our own. There was a time in which we regarded a small bodyofprac­ tices as civilization and all else simply as barbarian life waiting to be tamed, but to hold such beliefs now is regarded as being backward or Joshua C.
