    Hi David, It's seems I am in the same boat as you.  My husband was
    laid off and rather than have him go back to work I would like to
    make my jewelry business a full time thing that will pay our bills. 
    I was just looking into grants as a source to get some investment
    income - to add more production designs in my line, for wholesale
    shows, and to give me time to get placed find wholesale showrooms and
    develop some clientel.  I tried the SBA, but they do not give out
    grants.  They will, however, back a loan for a business just starting
    out that has a poor chance of getting one on it's own.  I have not
    been able to find a source for artist grants.  Most of the grants I
    have come across are for those who do things for their community -
    for non profit groups.  I hope your professional friends are right,
    but so far to me it seems that if it sounds too good to be true then
    it probably isn't. Jill http://www.jjewelry.com P. S.  I am also in 
the
    NYC area.  You might want to try Fragments 107 Greene St. in SoHo. 
    They are a retail artist jewelry store in the front and 
    have a wholesale showroom in the back.
