MORE UPDATES AND INFO

Well, the final word on the Robert MacNamara residency in Maine is that they are temporarily suspending it for this coming year. Too bad. One thing I've noticed since the crash is that one month I might get an announcement sent to me from a foundation or I might see an announcement for something on a site and then, not long after that, the foundation runs out of funding. Therefore, during this period of financial uncertainty, please double check all websites before you send out any applications.

A couple other little items: when you want to leave a comment after a posting, just click on the place that says 'comments' at the end of the posts for that time and follow the directions. I hide my comments, only because sometimes there are a lot of them and I just don't want to take up so much space. If you are having any trouble leaving comments, it might mean that you have to update your browser, so please try that before you write me an email, okay? Thanks! I welcome all comments, especially ones telling me how much they absolutely LOVE THIS BLOG. And, of course, comments about wonderful residencies you have applied for and gotten, or grants you applied for and got after you found out about them on my blog.

Coming soon: FAQs about residencies, so keep your eyes peeled. (I wonder where that creepy phrase came from?)

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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