There's a Gridanian theater troupe called the Homunculi.

I saw an opportunity... and I seized it...
As for the artwork, I'd say look at medieval, renaissance, or victorian era paintings and styles and maybe see what you can incorporate into your own IC art. Oil on canvas seems to be popular. As for dyes, Jancis had a pretty good idea. Some dyes would come from snails or shells, some from plants. There's several ways to desynth or just plain gather dye pigments in game, could use some of those as inspiration, or look up some RL methods. Turmeric, charcoal, ochre, and paprika can be ground up to make dyes if I remember correctly? Or y'know... blood.
EDIT: Sculptures also work if your character would be into that sort of thing? Though most sculptures in game have a religious depiction. The statues of Nald'thal in Thanalan, there's several varying renditions on the appearance of Llymlaen in Limsa. The artwork on the portcullis in Ul'dah are actually religious in nature, twin circles representing the worlds of Nald and Thal, wreathed in sun rays, likely an homage to the Belah'dian days of sun worship.
