Greetings All...Just a couple things below for you to start off your weekend. Soon, in the next couple or few days, I will also be posting a guest blog post by wonderful Canadian author Frances Greenslade whose new novel Shelter I recently read and loved. It comes out on May 15th, so keep your eyes peeled! And if you haven't checked out the winners from the 2012 Art Contest, please do. They are fantastic. Go here: http://www.miraslist.com/p/contests.html
Coming sometime in the near future, you will be able to see more of the grand prize winner's art. Until then, have a great weekend and don't forget that despite this bad economy, there are still amazing opportunities out there for us all.
Cheers,
Mirabee
p.s. The deadline is past for this residency in Oregon, but please check it out for the future. It's relatively new and it looks amazing: http://www.playasummerlake.org/residents-2012/

(MEDIA ARTISTS) Residency Unlimited's first S&M (Social & Media) Artist in Residence— RU is launching the S&M (Social & Media) residency program with
artists who are active propagators and navigators of the social media
environment. Artists actively engaged with the use of social media in
their practice are invited by RU to explore the notion of residency
within the virtual context of social media platforms (e.g.Facebook,
Twitter, Tumblr). Within this"virtual studio", experiences and
activities may address notions of time/non-time, community,
reality/virtuality, access or selective choice... to name but a few. Click HERE to learn more about this residency program.
