Q AND A FORUM: GRANTS, FELLOWSHIPS, RESIDENCIES

Greetings! In the future I will probably set up a forum linked page or something and/or will have links to FAQ's and tips, etc. but to get started, I thought I'd ask you if you had any questions about: grants, fellowships, residencies, writing applications, what you are eligible to apply for...anything, really, as long as it pertains to your professional development as an artist (or writer, composer, etc.). So please use the comment section below to ask me something and I will try to get back to you as soon as you can. And feel free to comment on what else you'd like to see on this blog. If you like what I'm doing so far, let me know that too. If something could be improved, let me know that as well. I do this for free so things won't happen over night...anyway, ask away. How can I help you? (p.s. Some people are having trouble finding the place where they can leave a post. Look right below this posting and you will see the word "comments" with a number before it, showing how many people have left comments. The comments are hidden to save space, but if you click on "comments" you will open up a space to write in. You don't have to leave your name or anything, just do the little security check so we can avoid spam. Thanks!

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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!
