FELLOWSHIP AND RESIDENCY UPDATE

Greetings...a few days ago I posted that the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA's) writing fellowship deadline was in October but I have since learned that it will be in November. (Applications must be done online and will be available on the NYFA website in September). The deadlines for NYFA's 2009-2010 Artists' Fellowships will be:
November 2, 2009: Fiction, Playwriting/Screenwriting and Photography
November 3, 2009: Painting, Music/Sound
November 4, 2009: Architecture/Environmental Structures, Choreography and Video

Also, another change...a reader recently brought to my attention that although I got an announcement from a grants site regarding the Robert MacNamara Foundation residency in Maine's supposed September deadline, they are not doing residencies at this time. That is all I know at the moment. (Thank you dear readers for your help!) Although I'd love to double check every single link or announcement I get or double check the places I research, I simply do not have time. I do the best I can, as most of you know, but once in a while the information I am given or that I find is erroneous. I do this stuff for free and it takes a lot of time and unfortunately, unless I clone myself, I can't do any better than this. I do apologize for any mistakes and if I can clone myself in the future, you'll be the first to know. Speaking of mistakes, it seems as if an alien has invaded blogspot. If you see some odd font glitches or other issues, I am sorry. I'm trying to find out what the problem is---whether it's blogspot or my server or what. Hopefully it will be cleared up soon!

Anyway....more things to come. Have a great end of the summer. Garden, paint, play music and get those applications out there. Remember that the fall is a huge time for deadlines, especially regional grants, i.e. state grants in the U.S. Talk to you later....best wishes, 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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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!
