(ALL) Community & Artist-in- Residence Program in the Galilee in IsraelThe Bat Shalom Guest House is an expansive contemporary artist villa nestled in the hills of the Galilee between the Sea of Galilee and Mount Tavor. Inspired by the land absorbed with the sources of the Bible, Druze villages, Christians, Muslims, and Jews, we invite artists of all walks of life to join us for a one-month Art Laboratory December 18, 2011-January 18, 2012.

12 selected international artists will research and explore the connection between art and peace work with the world-renown multi-media artist and peace activist, Dorit Bat-Shalom. She will lead this group on a journey through the ancient cultures and spiritual paths
that live in the land of Israel while connecting them with acclaimed Israeli artists.
The Guest House will provide a sanctuary where from every window and balcony the beautiful view of the ancient Lower Galilee will enrapture you. With an atmosphere of inspiration, creativity, and tranquility, this unique location deeply serves each artist.

There used to be another place like this in the Galilee that I stayed at years ago and you can read about it in my book, The Memory Palace! It's a beautiful area and very interesting.)

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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