Hi, Julie--I've been away so am a bit behind on the listserve mail, but the web
address below will take you to a miniature museum in DE--as you may know, those
miniaturists are a rabid group, and these folks might be able to guide you in
developing the program.

As far as the artist in residence program goes, we are partnered with the
Virginia Center of Creative Arts; you might get some helpful information from
their website at www.vcca.com.  From interacting with the fellows in the past,
it seems that what they value most is time in isolation to work on their craft,
because most of them have full-time jobs teaching art or in other fields.  They
occasionally visit our classes and lecture on or present their work, but if
part of the deal is that you wanted them to teach in exchange for room and
board and a studio you could probably work something out.

All best,
Christian Carr
Director, Sweet Briar Museum
Assistant Professor, Arts Management
