Each artist will be given one to two weeks to produce one design and create up to 50 serigraphs plus additional proofs, half of which the artist will keep. The Serie Project provides accommodations for resident artists, but cannot pay for travel expenses. Printing will take place at Coronado Studio in Austin, Texas. The Airtist in Residence (AIR) program will begin in January, and all prints must be completed by July.

Come See Mira Introduce Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast in NYC on June 29th


I hope you are all having a great summer. I have some new opportunities to post but first, I wanted to tell all you NEW YORKERS out there that I will be in town at the end of this month, introducing Cocteau's beautiful classic, La Belle et la Bête at the Rubin Museum's Cinema Cabaret on Friday night, June 29th. The film starts at 9:30 pm but you can get there early, get something to drink and come say hello to me before I make a fool of myself in front of Cocteau's ghost! Go here for more info on the event: http://www.rmanyc.org/events/load/1731

Cheers,
Mirabee


 

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 However, I do not publish information on exhibition or publishing opportunities, nor do I advertise artist retreats and workshops that charge money.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