TransCultural Exchange's Conference on International Opportunities in the Arts Scholarships!
Hey everyone! Wake up! Mirabee here to tell you about the most amazing international arts conference in the world. It's every two years and some of you heard me speak about funding for artists at the last one. This time around, I'll be talking about first books: how to get published from finding an agent to marketing your book once it is out there. I'll be on a panel with Jedediah Berry, author of the novel The Manual of Detection and editor at Small Beer Press, and poet Marisa Crawford, author of The Haunted House from Switchback Books. I'll also be doing a reading from my new book at the Boston Public Library with amazing author Reif Larson and Jayne Anne Phillips (all that info to come, closer to the event).
In the meantime, there are scholarships available for the conference but the deadline for those are coming up soon. See the announcement below for the TransCultural Exchange's Conference on International Opportunities in the Arts.
Cheers!
Mirabee
p.s. coming later today or in the next day or so: new opportunities for printmakers, media artists, writers and more!
(ALL) TransCultural Exchange's Conference on International Opportunities in the Arts: Are you looking to tap into the International Art Market? Would you like to find ways to show overseas? Are you a writer interested in finding out what it takes to publish your first book? Are you a musician or composer who is looking for an amazing residency overseas? Have you always wanted to live overseas for a year and do research for a creative project but just didn't know how to fund your trip? Meet key international Curators, critics, editors, published writers and program directors at TransCultural Exchange's Conference on International Opportunities in the Arts, Boston Omni Parker House Hotel April 7-10 2011.
TransCultural Exchange’s Conference on International Opportunities in the Arts: The Interconnected World is internationally known as the only forum of its kind for networking, showcasing, supporting and promoting people in the arts.

There will also be opportunities for film screenings for emerging filmmakers, readings of new work from writers, literary events at Boston Public Library, and artist slide shows.

Checking In - Well, Whining, Really...
Is anybody still out there? I've been so sporadic with this blog for a long time. Unmotivated. Uninspired.
And Waxy Buildup, the exhibit I collaborated on with Trayc Claybrook, will be on exhibit at Gallery One in Ellensburg, Washington in January of 2011.
Just thought I'd post something - anything - to get the wheels turning.
I guess I feel like I'm in a stagnant phase right now. My artwork is progressing and I'm happy with what I've been doing lately. I'm getting some shows here and there, some sales, etc. All as a result of a lot of hard work from the past few years. But it's not enough to support me. I know that I need to do another push and keep working, but for some reason I'm blocked. Or lazy. Or scared.
So maybe it's just the economy and it'll pick up soon.
On a positive note, I have work in the lobby of the Murchison Performance Hall on the campus of the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. If you're in the Denton area and would like to see it, check the schedule.
And Waxy Buildup, the exhibit I collaborated on with Trayc Claybrook, will be on exhibit at Gallery One in Ellensburg, Washington in January of 2011.So there are some things going on and I have things to look forward to.
My next major goal is to get my work into a gallery in Dallas and at least one other major city in the US next year.
OK, it's out there, so now I have to do it.
