NEW PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION!

Greetings all...So there is now a place on this blog for you to leave comments. Right now it's near the bottom of the right hand side bar but I might move it up later. Please feel free to leave comments or to ask questions that you might otherwise send to me as an email. I love hearing from all of you, however, as this blog becomes more popular, it is getting harder and harder to keep up with private correspondence, especially when I don't make an income from this passionate little activity of mine. If you ask questions publicly, then others can benefit from the answers. Coming soon I will have a list of FAQs and more how-to articles on grant writing, etc. I hope to work on that over the summer. In the meantime, check out the up-coming summer and fall deadlines for great grants, residencies and other opportunities. Funding may be down all over the world but money is still out there and so are dedicated arts foundations, residency directors and the like. As the Italians say: Coraggio! Avanti Popolo!
p.s. Don't forget to take the new poll! Thanks! Mirabee

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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