The Foundation Center is putting the spotlight on arts organizations and artists this month.   Visit Focus on the Arts for national arts funding news and interviews with grant makers.   Get  the perspectives of arts leaders by signing up for Funding Trends in Arts and Culture -  a free webinar  scheduled for  October 30.

Individual artists can find current opportunities for funding by visiting NYFA Source.    You can also get  straightforward advice on grant writing in Proposal Writing for Individuals in the Arts.   Or, try out one of these books:

• How to Make a Living as a Poet by Gary Mex Glazner
• How to Survive and Prosper as an Artist by Caroll Michels
• Poor Dancer's Almanac: Managing a Life and Work in the Performing Arts

On  the topic of money, curious what happens when an artist divides a $100 bill  into 10,000 pieces?   See for yourself: www.tenthousandcents.com
