Before I run off for the weekend, I wanted to share a video about the much esteemed and well-loved MacDowell Colony in Petersborough, New Hampshire. I think it gives a great sense of what it is like to live and work at an art colony/residency, should you be so fortunate to be accepted to one. It doesn't get better than this!
Click here and scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says "MacDowell Video." The short film originally played on PBS as part of their Art:21 Series in the U.S. Enjoy my friends!

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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

Thanks Mira! You do great work here.
Good timing Mira. Started my application this morning. It's been on my to-do list for ages but you helped get me closer to the edge!
Thanks. I think they did a great job portraying MacDowell. I'll post more like this in the future. Kind of a nice way to check out a colony instead of just rummaging through their website. Good luck on your application!

Hey Mira,
Sent you an e-mail to [email protected] -- but it bounced back! Would you mind shooting me one? [email protected].
Cheers,
Alexis
