A PERSONAL NOTE

Greetings...just a quick note to say that I have temporarily removed my book recommendations from the sidebar because it seems, for some reason, that Amazon aliens have taken over my list and replaced the book covers with flashing generic ads without telling me! Anyway, I'll figure out what happened and get them back up there sooner or later. Sorry to have inadvertently subjected you to flashiness. I cannot abide by flashiness. Also, one more thing---don't forget to check my sidebar on the right for new residencies that I don't list in postings. You can click on the photos and be taken directly to the website. As usual, I try to only list places that are FREE and, when possible, open to international artists. Oh...I am also currently looking for the following grants/opportunities, so if you have found something that is quite wonderful and wish to share the opportunity with me and others, please place a comment below with the information. Here's my list:
1. grants/fellowships for travel funding to international residencies.
2. grants for graphic novel/memoirists.
3. substantial grants/fellowships for musicians/composers/sound artists.
4. scholarships for artists, writers, etc. to attend MFA programs, especially low-residency ones.

I do have info on the above, however, I cannot possibly know about everything so if you have come across something great, pass it on. Thanks! Mira

Sea Change, listed in your sidebar, is a tempting dangling carrot that does not except applications.Years ago someone wanted to recommend me for a MacArthur grant (at that thought,my heart beats like a hummingbird's wings!)She told me that she contacted the foundation and received a piece of paper with what must have had invisible ink, for there was only the information that there was a committee that searched out eligible contenders.

Hi Beth,

Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention! I somehow missed that wee little sentence! See my comments on nomination only residencies here: http://miraslist.blogspot.com/2009/06/fellowships-filmmakers-actors.html?showComment=1244839175050#c790709127425182738
Maybe you'll find what I said helpful. I checked out your blog and website, by the way. I love your stuff! Thanks for visiting and for your comment. Best wishes, Mira

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!
