Jewelry Arts Grants

I've been searching for grants online for the past few weeks and I feel like i'm running in circles. I can't seem to find that $20000 i was looking for in order to finish school and start a creative business in jewelry making. I already sell my jewelry word of mouth and I'm finishing my website. I was looking on sites for female grants to start a business or go to school, but I don't seem to qualify for any of them. Now I know what my dog feels like when he's chasing his tail and isn't fast enough to catch it. I just would love to find artists or businesses that would love to help me out. Because rammen noodles and expensive san francisco rents can only go on for a few more months before something has to change, i was hoping that someone out there might have heard of someone else in a similar situation.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Would telling her to "get a real job" negatively affect her self-esteem?

Yeah, those expensive San Francisco rents will do you in! Can’t get by without a grant.
Ruled out a job long ago, right?

Try looking around in Rhode Island, the jewelry making capital of the world. There is even a jewelry making art institute there. From Monet to Sarkowski(?), the ideas and vision of the jewelry industry are firmly entrenched in RI.

Good luck, it’s big money if you make a go of it!!
