Some might assume that the editors of ArtSake are, like Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way. (Other assumed similarities: that we carry coat racks in our handbags and frequently fraternize with chimney sweeps.) However, despite this appearance of practical perfection, we occasionally slip, missing important news when compiling our monthly Fellows Notes updates from past MCC fellows/finalists.
When you’ve recovered from the shock of this admission, here are some of the intriguing updates we left out of our recent September 2010 Fellows Notes post:
