Dear Listers:

We have a volunteer at our Museum who has offered her well-above average artistic abilities to our exhibits, from murals, paintings, backgrounds, signs, etc.  She wants to know how to get paid for her work (it never fails--all the good ones want to move onward and upward, and alas, we are sooo poor!).   So, all you artsy exhibit-type people out there, what kind of training did you get before you got your job?  Did it include museum specific training?   And, is there a need for a consulting/contract type situation, especially for smaller institutions which may not be able to have someone on staff permanently.
Any help you can give will be apprciated.

Cindy Hoover, Curator
Lyon County Historical Museum
