Volunteer!

Ah yes, volunteer work. Volunteering is the best way to get out there, talk to people, and possibly make a few connections. Finding the right group to work with can be a daunting task, but the best suggestion I can make would be stick with what you love. If you love fine art, try a museum. I found this great site that helps the process along. Volunteer Match let's you pick a region and a key word, and it displays the results available in that area. SWEET! Get your juices flowing, and your business cards ready because you never know where opportunity will find you.
