INTERNATIONAL ARTIST RESIDENCIES: MEET THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THEM

Don't forget to register Transcultural Exchange's International Conference for Opportunities in the Arts in Boston, April 3 - 5. I will be speaking from 1 to 3 on Friday, April 3 on how to find funding for travel, residencies, and pursuing your creative projects. This session is open to all disciplines. There will be many other great speakers at the conference too, including representatives from the Fulbright Foundation, DAAD, and directors of residencies from China, France, Italy, Thailand, India, Australia, Japan, Germany and many other countries, as well as artist colony spokespersons from the U.S. This is a fantastic chance to meet with the people behind the scenes who make decisions and ask them questions, network with other artists, writers, and composers, and sign up for individual mentoring sessions. What's not to like? If you register now, before April 1st, you can still get the lower registration rate. See you there! And coming soon...book suggestions, announcements, and more.

Welcome to Mira's List

This blog provides information on upcoming grants, fellowships and residencies for artists, writers, composers, and media artists. It is for serious professionals only, from emerging to mid-career to established. I also publish information for graduate students from time to time. However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money. At least that is my current policy. For more info on where to exhibit or publish, please see my links section which I try to periodically update. I sift through hundreds of search engines and websites to find opportunities for YOU dear artist. In return, I ask you to pass the information along to those who need it. Also, since this is a free blog, I don't always have the time to weed carefully through everything. If you find a grant or website or residency that is not up-to-date, is dodgy in some way, or is no longer in existence, please let me know! Also, if you stay somewhere at one of the residencies I suggest and have a good experience, I want that feedback too. Please check my FAQs at the top right side bar if you have questions before starting your search. Best wishes and happy hunting!
