For many, this week is a time to slow down. With the Christmas holiday behind us and New Year just around the corner, the end of December can be a time of reflection, a chance to look back at what worked – and what didn’t – over the year and begin to plan for what comes next. If you find yourself in this reflective period, consider including a calendar of opportunities in your plans. Whether you’re after funding, open calls, residencies or more, there’s something for everyone out there. Here are a few upcoming deadlines to get you started.
