Residency Testimonial: Voices of the Wilderness in the Tongass National Forest


From time to time I like to post little snippets of people’s experiences at residencies all over the world. Today’s post is from Julie Denesha, documentary photographer, who went to Juneau, Alaska for a residency called “Voices of the Wilderness” in the Tongass National Forest (http://www.voicesofthewilderness.blogspot.com/)

This is what Julie had to say about her residency there:
The Voices of the Wilderness residency was an amazing opportunity to see a remote wilderness up close guided by a highly-experienced team of forest rangers. The seven-day trip was highly active and involved a fair amount of camping, travel by sea kayak as well as off-trail hiking. It was a fantastic experience, not soon to be forgotten.
Thank you so much for posting such interesting opportunities!
All the Best,
Julie

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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