RESIDENCY FOR ARTISTS, WRITERS AND MUSICIANS IN HUNGARY AND A MIRA'S LIST UPDATE

Oh how I missed you all! As you know, I've been very busy and was also in NY meeting with my wonderful agent and my amazing editors. (I really lucked out with this book...I am very grateful! And yes, I will write about this whole process soon...) Anyway, I'm back now and will post a new interview in the next couple/few days (this time, a composer and pianist) as well as some new opportunities—hopefully tomorrow or Saturday.

In the meantime, I wanted to let you know about a new residency in Hungary (see below) and also, to alert you to a little change in the way you can leave comments after posts. Lately, my comment sections have become spammed so I will have to now moderate them. It's annoying for all of us but that way you don't have to deal, as readers, with evil spammers telling you to click on their links for great loans (don't do it!!!) etc. Just go ahead and leave your comments---I think that you will just get a message saying that I have to approve them or something. Nothing too complicated I hope.


Here's the new residency—the place looks beautiful by the way....and more things are coming in the next couple days...

(ALL) International Authors Lodge Residency: The International Authors Lodge is currently seeking artists, writers, and performing artists for summer residency in Budapest, Hungary. This residency does cost money, just so you know...it's not one of the freebies I often promote....however, the place does look beautiful. See website for residency information and costs. There is no fee to apply.

The International Authors Lodge is an independent non-profit association based in Budapest, Hungary. The association encourages awareness and exploration of personal and creative development as well as cross-cultural exchange of ideas. The International Authors Lodge aims to generate and encourage exchange between local artists and international artists, believing that this interaction is a unique way to gain new experiences while encountering other view points and perspectives concerning contemporary art.

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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