Slacker Update from Mirabee

Greetings Earthlings!

I know my presence online has been spotty at best this summer. But please forgive me. You should know that the following things have been going on and will continue to go on until mid-September:

1. Final proofreading of my book.
2. Publicity stuff for my book.
3. Massive home-improvement projects.
4. Oh, I forgot I was getting married too!
5. All the stuff you have to do for # 4 when you are on a budget, like make everything
yourself and grow all your own flowers.
6. Helping a friend edit his book.
7. Play with dogs in yard when it's not over 95 degrees outside.
8. Entertain a non-stop stream of out-of-town guests.
9. Start work on my website and book trailer for my memoir.

So the best thing for you is to lower your expectations of me this summer and just know that my postings will be pretty spotty until mid-September, okay? Thanks for understanding! You should, however, be aware that there are many, many deadlines mid-September for residencies, grants, etc. For residency deadlines, go to my links on the sidebar and do your cheerful searching there.

Best to you all and I'll catch up with you as soon as I can!
Mira

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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