Back in the Saddle Again

Gentle Readers,

Oh how I've missed you! I forgot how much I love doing this blog. I apologize for my absence the last ten days or so. I was working pretty much night and day, finishing the art for my book and then photographing it and then putting it into computer files for the designer. And then, instead of, say, celebrating with a night out on the town, I ended up in the ER! (Some stupid allergic reaction to something I consumed). I'm still a bit under the weather but....All this to say: I am, pretty much, back in the saddle again and ready to be your loyal servant in the world of grants, fellowships and residencies. And down the road, as promised, I will tell you the story of how I wrote, sold and published my illustrated book in the hope that my little tale will help you somehow.

Anyway, I will be posting something very soon, maybe even tonight or tomorrow. Until then, I hope you are all working hard and joyfully on your art and that you are also taking time to get outside and enjoy this beautiful summer.

Warmly,
Mirabee

Oh wow, Mira. Life has a way of throwing out a foot and tripping us up. Glad you are okay. Miss your posts, so hurry back.

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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