Hi,

If you haven't yet read it... I urge you to read the report I wrote for the
Rockefeller Foundation titled, "New Media Arts | New Funding Models" --
abstract below.
The report is available for free download at my web site
http://digital-bauhaus.com/html/mediaArtReport/reportabstract.html

The report explores the very issue of self-sustainability for new media
artists and non-profit organizations.  As well, it offers first hand advice
and experiences from the trenches of the funding community.

Yes the report is US centric.  But I've received more downloads from
northern and eastern Europe than the US.

cheers,

Pamela
