1. google it
2. Arkansas is best. People love to save pictures of their favorite chickens. Everybody there has prize chickens and hogs. Go razor hogs! Sure miss all that here in NYC.
3. Santa Fe, New Mexico has a very strong artist community. I'm not sure about a make up artist, however, unless you are talking about theatre. Minneapolis has a strong theatrical community if you are looking for something in the midwest.
4. It really depends on the kind of work you're looking to do. If you are thinking traditional art, as in the sort that finds it's way into galleries, then it doesn't matter about the state more about the city. Major cities, especially those with a large number of galleries and museums, are where you want to be. Commercial work, well just go where your industry is. General rule of thumb is east or west coast, north is better than south.
