COMIC BOOK ARTISTS/GRAPHIC NOVELISTS, et al

Dear Comic Book Artist who sent me a message asking about where you can get funding to do your projects: I can't find your message anywhere! So sorry! I must have accidentally deleted it. Anyway, I just remembered your question and wanted to let you know that there is one place that funds comic book art projects: http://www.xericfoundation.org. The deadline is usually in September I think. Hopefully in time there will be other grants for this great art form. You can also apply for artist residencies, etc. and if you are in the US, when state arts council grant deadlines come up, I would ask if comic book artists can apply or check their guidelines. I think you will see more and more foundations and arts councils opening up to this under-appreciated art form. Anyway, I had you on my mind so I thought I'd do a quick post before I forgot.
Cheers,

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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