THANK YOU FOR DONATING!

Much thanks to those of you who donated to Mira's List this past week since I sent out a request. It really helps. I appreciate your contribution and am grateful that you took the time to send something. I don't have all your email addresses so I apologize if I cannot thank you personally. Due to a medical problem (from a car accident in 1999) I need to do most of my work at home. And I'd love to spend some of that time continuing to do THIS for YOU. Your donations make that possible. Thank you!

I'm off to the conference on Thursday and hopefully will come back with some good information. I also have written a rather long piece on writing grants that I will post when I get back (or I'll just shorten it and post a condensed version). Other things coming up soon....info on travel to Central/South/Latin America and more opportunities for my most neglected group—those in the performing arts, film, music, etc.

And for those looking for writing contests, exhibition opportunities, and so on, please check the links on my sidebar under your specific genre.
See you next week!

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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