We won. Or tied. In any event, we weren’t even here eight months ago, so the outcome is still remarkable. Saturday night, the Press Club of Dallas resuscitated the Katie Awards, which honor quality journalism in Texas media. It seems that in 2004-2006, the Press Club’s previous president, Elizabeth Albanese, didn’t send the submissions out [...]

Albert Alcalay survived a concentration camp during the Holocaust, then became a jazz-influenced abstract painter and ultimately a Harvard professor. Three of his [...]
Jennifer Rose spent a recent morning meticulously installing vinyl patterns to a gallery wall, an afternoon feeding her child chocolate bunny crackers and answering interview questions, and, run down by midnight, chilled with an episode of Ghost Hunters. She’s especially busy these days as she is one of the artists in CADD Art Lab’s second [...]
