Hi Stephanie, Here in Jersey, we engaged two scholars: one who is a PhD folklorist with experience curating exhibits on folk life, and another who handles all booking for the New Jersey Folk Festival (and is herself a harpist). We wanted the sites to have access both to scholarship and to a booking agent's rolodex and experience, to assist them with programming. Cheers, Chris Chris Scherer Program Officer New Jersey Council for the Humanities 609.695.4838 [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: "Horsley, Stephanie" <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 10:37:00 -0500 Subject: New Harmonies Scholar > Hello all, > > Our state is hosting New Harmonies in 2012, so I'm in the process of > searching for scholars and host sites.
