Sarah Dees: Other in Pinellas Park, Florida.

Hi Denise. Very happy to connect with you. My career has been most focused on fine art, but I am very interested in getting involved in visual arts associated with film production. Also, I live near you in downtown St. Petersburg. All best wishes, Sarah Dees

This is a good way to find funding for everyone, everywhere. Even though it is written with visual artists in mind and lists a Tampa center, there are other centers listed as well, and it can benefit anyone who needs money for a project or a career.

Hey Sarah, I'm excited to announce our new Stage 32 Lounge, a major upgrade to the previous Discussions area. Here are some of the highlights:

• Subscriptions - Subscribe to your favorite topics and stay up to date on the subjects that matter to you most.
• My Discussions - Never lose track of discussions you created or commented on.
• Better topics - We've completely reorganized the discussion topics to make it much easier to browse and post discussions.

Hey Sarah, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you hover over your profile photo in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Hi John. I'm an artist living in the Tampa Bay area. Good to meet some other local creative people. Sarah
