    Hi - Many states and even counties have grants that local artists
    can apply to and get funding for projects; a friend of mine and
    talented artist, Tara Herberger, won a grant in Philly to make hand
    painted bird houses and put them around parts of the city ... I have
    friends who have made films and done other projects on Pennsylvania
    grants - my own county in upper NY state has artist grants.  I think
    another great way to make money is to make a piece and submit it to
    contests.  Some organizations have contests that you can just do a
    rendering rather than make the actual piece and most of these
    contests have some sort of cash award.  Cindy Edelstein of the
    Jeweler's Resource Bureau has a calendar that lists most of the
    deadlines as well the the different contests, who to contact, what to
    submit as well as other wonderful information ... I think she sells
    it for a mere $35 dollars and it is the greatest resource. 

Take Care,
Jennifer
