URGENT DEADLINES FOR PLAYWRIGHTS, PHOTOGRAPHERS & WRITERS

Hey everyone...just wanted to post a couple urgent deadlines and to say THANKS (!) for all your sweet get well wishes! Those really made my day. I'm still sick but am on the mend....I just had to get these out to you because the deadlines are rapidly approaching. Back to bed! Cheers,
Mira

(PLAYWRIGHTS) The Princess Grace Awards Playwright Fellowship: given annually to a young American playwright, consists of a $7,500 grant and a ten-week residence, including paid travel, at New Dramatists, a playwright service organization, in New York City. The award is based primarily on the artistic quality of a submitted play and the potential of the fellowship to assist in the writer's growth. Write or see web site for guidelines: http://www.pgfusa.org. Deadline is March 31st, 2010!

(WRITERS) The Kerouac Writer-in-Residence Project: The Kerouac Project provides four residencies a year to writers of any stripe or age, living anywhere in the world. Each residency consists of approximately a three month stay in the cottage where Jack Kerouac wrote his novel Dharma Bums. Utilities and a food stipend of $800 are included. All you are required to do is work on your writing project and give a reading in the house at the end of your residency. The Project also offers opportunities to you for readings, leading workshops and interacting with the Central Florida Community in various ways. From time to time during your stay you will be asked to participate when the house is used for events such as readings and workshops for local students or book groups. For more information, go to: http://kerouacproject.org/application-page/ Applications for the 2010-2011 residencies are due by Friday, April 16, 2010 and results will be announced in May.

(PHOTOGRAPHERS) Emerging Photographers Grant: A grant of $15,000 to emerging photographers. Funding is designed to support continuation of a photographer’s personal project. This body of work may be of either journalistic mission or purely personal artistic imperatives. The deadline is April 15th, 2010.

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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