RANDOM THOUGHTS

It's late and I'm off to bed but I had a couple random thoughts....first, I wanted to remind you all that there is only one more day left to fill out my fun two second poll on the right hand sidebar. More polls to come, by the way... I also wanted to thank a couple people who recently sent donations. One artist sent donations twice in the last couple months! Thank you Amy! Every little bit counts, even those five to fifteen dollar donations. Another loyal fan sent me an incredible photograph (thank you Simen.) And I especially want to express my gratitude to artist, curator and blogger Catherine Tedford (AKA Sticker Kitty) who bleeps me announcements all the time and who tells everyone in the world about my blog. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're the best! And speaking of announcements, you should be aware that a lot of residencies have September 15th deadlines. I will post more of them soon, but don't forget to check out the links on the lower right for residencies (resartis.org, transartists.org, artistcommunities.org, etc.). They have hundreds of residencies just waiting to be discovered by you. And if you prefer browsing through a book that gives excellent descriptions of residencies all over the world, go to the lower right sidebar and click on the blue book: Artists Communities: A Directory of Residencies that Offer Time and Space for Creativity (the second book listed). Most if not all of the places inside the book are still active residencies. Sometimes it's nice to do research the old fashioned way, you know? Buy the book from me and I get a wee percentage! Have a great weekend...more wonderous things to come....Mira
