SWEET DREAMS

Well...for your information, the interview I did on the radio today with wonderful Mo Ringey at Valley Free Radio went really well and was a blast but...due to the spontaneous and meandering nature of the show, we ended up talking nearly the entire time about my forthcoming book, The Memory Palace, which left only about five minutes of air time to chat about Mira's List and how to find residencies, fellowships and grants. Sorry everyone! But I had to follow the flow of conversation and my radio host's interest ao it just turned out that way. Anyway, I promise I will do another sometime in the not so distant future. I might post the recording anyway, once I edit it a bit, just so you can hear about my book (and a little about this blog).

I have one more day of final edits and then my book is going out. I'll get back to hunting things down for you over the weekend, if not before. In the meantime, TAKE MY NEW TWO SECOND POLL on the right side bar...keep making art, apply for everything and be fearless! Sweet dreams....Mirabee

Don't apologize if it's for your book, and thank you for doing this blog, bringing hope to others, and giving it five minutes of your time on a radio show. Hope you'll post your interview anyway, would still love to hear it.

This is a wickedly wonderful blog. What an extraordinary resource! May I have your permission to share it on my blog? In my newsletter?

(hmmm, couldn't sign in to comment with my blog address, so used web address. Hey, I'll put you on those links too!)

Thanks Janet---yes, please list it on your blog. Thanks! 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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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!
