Calling All Artists: Residencies and Fellowships in France, Brazil, Ireland, and All Over the World!

Okay people, here is a ton of things that have been piling up....and by the way, you might not hear from me for a short while because I am frantically trying to come up with a proposal so I can sell my next book (my husband is still out of work, after having lost his job over a year ago....don't be shy, go ahead and make a donation so we can pay our mortgage one more month!). Anyway, have no fear, I shall return!

And there are so many things coming up, including the results of the art contest (fantastic entries, by the way), a couple interviews down the road and much more. If you write me about posting an opportunity and you don't hear back or you don't see the opportunity posted in a timely manner, please feel free to post a short note on my facebook page because that goes right to twitter too: http://www.facebook.com/miraslist. You can shorten your URL at www.tinyurl.com so that it will be short enough for twitter. And that goes for all of you out there who have an upcoming exhibit or film screening or whatever. Feel free to post it on my Mira's List facebook page and it will get tweeted to the world, even as far as Australia!

Love ya,
mirabee
 
This first residency you must pay for but I've heard good things about it...AND I am getting this listed late---the deadline is Monday, April 15th, so it is very short notice. Sorry.

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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