Fellowships for Emerging Writers, Scholars, Art History Students and More

Hi everyone,
 
Sorry I haven't been posting much. I am trying to finish a big project proposal so I can get some income back into this household! Anyway, coming in a couple days, we will have a guest blogger, Frances Greenslade, whose novel SHELTER is coming out this week on May 15th. I loved her book and I asked her to write a little something about her writing process. So stay tuned!
 
A couple things for you below....the last two are thanks to re-title.com, a great resource for international arts opportunities.
 
Cheers,
Mirabee

The Fellowships run for two years, however if the Fellow does not fulfill his/her obligations to the University in the first year, the second year's funding could at the Foundation's discretion be revoked.

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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