ARTES “fills a void”

"Thank you for calling my attention to ARTES. As I mentioned in my comments at Yale, the Internet needs more on-line publications that address the field of art with a comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the subject. ARTES fills that void. I will continue to read the magazine and wish you well in your efforts to bring this much needed resource to a broader audience." ~Holland Cotter, Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic, 'The New York Times'
