On Friday, the Miller Art Museum in Sturgeon Bay finally got to pick two new residents for a residency that has been in the works for years. For the Dome House Al & Mickey Quinlan Residency, the museum picked Amy Usdin and Ariana Vaeth, who are both midwest-based artists. Amy Usdin is a twin-cities-based fiber artist and Ariana Vaeth is a Milwaukee-based artist who focuses on contemporary realism. Executive Director of the Miller Art Museum Elizabeth Meissner-Gigstead said it was difficult to pick the two out of a large talent pool. 

Meissner-Gigstead says they’re both excited to come and will immerse themselves into the Door County community. Both are expected to make their way to the Dome House by Labor Day. The dome house is located in Whitefish Bay.
