Vassar, the Alumnae/i Quarterly
Summer 2026

The Luxury of Time and Space
Alum-Related Opportunities That Support Creative Work

Cover of the Summer 2026 Vassar Quarterly. A silhouetted profile holds a fountain pen that releases sweeping multicolored ribbons. Cover lines read: “Alum Artists Enjoy the Luxury of Time & Space,” “Noah Baumbach ’91 Wins Graduation,” “Reunion Highlights,” and “A Salute to Retiring Professors.”

The artist residencies and fellowship we spotlight in this issue offer artists, writers, composers, and makers some of the most important ingredients in a creative life: time, space, and freedom from distraction and pressure. Learn about Catwalk Art Residency, founded by the late Purcell Palmer ’62, on a sprawling estate just up the road from Vassar; the W. K. Rose Fellowship, endowed by a beloved Vassar professor after a cancer diagnosis; and Zion Canyon Mesa in Utah, where Executive Director Logan Hebner ’78 presides over a residency where creativity, community, and activism form a synergistic force.
