April 23 - Hello, art lovers! This week's Sketchbook is a special one for me because it's my last. After nearly three years, the time has come for me to pass the baton, as I will be taking on a new role as Senior Editor of Art + Design and Dance for ArtsATL. While this new opportunity is exciting, it's also bittersweet. I have truly loved launching and curating Sketchbook, and it has been an honor to share the stories of so many incredible artists and organizations over the years.
