Any other artists on this site?

As most of you know, I am an artist. Since I have had an abrupt change in my professional life recently, I have returned to my studio. Having done art full-time for 12 years, I do know what it takes. Something I need is a professional peer that I can bounce ideas, projects and proposals off of. Specifically grant proposals. I do have a network already, but this time I am planning to go forward with my video work. I can't use the same network to review what most would consider pornographic. I plan to push some limits. I need an educated fine arts professional to help me edit proposals. And if you are a hard top, all the better.

I plan to exhibit my video work as an intimate self portrait and social commentary. I will reference Andy Warhol's film "Blow Job" to place my work in a historical context. I am looking for working artists or art historians who are aware of grant writing procedures and the contemporary art community.

Just to put a little context around this post, I am looking to tap into the amazing talent pool that is often a part of any gay community. One of best things about being gay is that we are often very very good at something, since we don't usually get bogged down with wife, home, kids, job, dog, etc. We often have talents that we immerse ourselves in. By the time we are 40 or so, we are often successful, experienced and have mastered something. In that spirit, I am reaching out to this specific niche of the gay community. We have more in common than bareback sex. At least that is what I am thinking.
