I work for a non-profit in the development and community relations department, so here are my suggestions and thoughts:

-Try professional networking groups, such as AFP (American Fundraising Professionals); the PRSA or other public relations group; call the United Way in your community for a listing of nonprofits in your target field (I believe you said music or the arts?). A lot of these groups have local websites that have job positings

-Call an organization that you'd like to work for and offer to intern for free. I know that you said you have some fundraising experience from college events, but it may help to have some local experience volunteering or interning

-Also, most of the people that I know in non-profit community here in development come from public relations and journalism backgrounds as the "job description" for development contains a lot of those aspects, including some graphic design, writing, and LOTS of media relations.

Good luck in your search!
